[ILUG] Synchronising yp and samba passwords - solved, and another question

[Cormac McClean]

Hi,

Solved my Perl-Expect problem. 
Problem: yppasswd uses different prompts to user, and also asks
for the current password (smack!).

The next question is: is there a way of getting this to work without
echoing the passwords on the screen, e.g.

Enter username: testuser
Enter current password: see it here
New password: on the screen
Re-enter new password: on the screen
Changing password ... succeeded.

Thanks in advance,
Cormac.
