assume that script is called /root/pwd.sh
root# /root/pwd.sh "newpasswd is here"
and it should be updating it to server1, server2, server3..
- break into machine xx and you have access to server1...4
and ... you now have the passwd in clear text in ~/.bash_history
- dont forget to erase it
-- i prefer ... pull... vs pushing files around...
on each client... i pull down any new changes via cron
if ( master:/etc/shadow changed )
scp Master:/etc/passwd.client /etc/shadow
- or -
scp /net/Master/etc/passwd.client /etc/shadow
fi
you're job is to make sure the files to be pulled/pushed
is 100% correct
and to check if all passwds are in sync
grep userA /n/all_PCs/etc/shadow | cut -d : -f 3
#
# the resulting data should all be identical pwd for users
