The following script does work on my FC3 box ( I'm running a source compiled version of expect-5.43.0-2. which showed the same symptoms as you describe when I run your script. ) The script is from: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11830 ======================== #!/usr/bin/expect -f # wrapper to make passwd(1) be non-interactive # username is passed as 1st arg, passwd as 2nd set password [lindex $argv 1] spawn passwd --stdin -f [lindex $argv 0] expect "Changing password" send "$password\r" expect eof ======================== Another bug you may be interested in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158272 Regards, Mike Klinke
