Change local user passwd - Solaris

I tested out fixlet - Change local user password - BETA for Linux /Unix, its working great with Red hat Linux & Suse but somehow chpasswd command is not supported by sun solaris hence its not working there.

I figured out passwd command is supported by solaris but its not taking user ID & passwd with one go like in chpasswd thus failing.

Please, need suggestion here.

The most compatible way on all systems I think would be to “su” to the user and use “passwd” to change the password.

Reminder that unless you use secure parameters and mailboxing, the password will be easily known.

@AlanM, can you provide relevance to change the password reset for Solaris if already available ?
