[fpc-pascal]Password changing

[Vassilis Stathopoulos]

Perhaps you could try something like this:

program changemypasswd;

uses Linux;

var f : text;

begin
     Popen(f, '/usr/bin/passwd --stdin userid > /dev/null','w');
     writeln(f, 'password');
     Flush(f);
     Close(f);
end.

It must work - test yourself to make sure it is working.

If you like you can email me privately with info regarding the project 
you're making - perhaps I do have code to share (if I guess correctly what 
you are building).
