hi,

i have written a small expect script to change the user passwod.

#!/usr/bin/expect

spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 0]
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect eof

when i execute the above script has

./test.sh testuser Welcom@123

it is giving the below error and password is not getting changed

./test.sh testuser Welcome@123
spawn passwd testuser
Changing password for user testuser.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.


Could you please correct the issue, where i am wrong

thanks in advacne

thanks
Sheri
