Change password with out any prompt, How ?

Hi,

I want to create the users and set the passwords to 'eW4hNXNIc' for all new users.I don't want any prompts or confirmation when creating the users.

Is there a way to achieve this in REDHAT LINUX ? Can some one help?


regards,
aparna.

Code:

---

echo "yourpassword"|passwd --stdin username

---

man passwd
