Dear Friends ,

I need a script where the script contains a username Like 'jackson' . Now When I execute the script then it prompts me a password against the user jackson And after that it encrypted that password and store it into another text / other file as encrypted mode .

Plz help me ragarding this issue or give me some tips ....

Since you didn't define any I'll use Apache's htpasswd:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
htpasswd -n "$1" > /some/file; exit 0

Thx unSpawn
#!/bin/sh
htpasswd -n "$1" > /some/file; exit 0

The above script is working fine . But for a particular user , if I want to run this script then what will I do ? i.e., , If I want to encrypt passowrd for a particular user Like "Oracle", then what will I do ?
