UNIX User Password Modifier v1.20 released: generate and modifie UNIX passwords in batch mode.

Feb. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Description

UNIX User Password Modifier (2UPM) is a Windows application which is used to modify, generate and manage the user passwords in batch mode for various UNIX/Linux hosts. It may be useful for the UNIX/Linux system administrators, programmers and general users, specially, if you manage or use many UNIX/Linux hosts, you will find it to be very useful due to the following benefits:


Save your valuable time, for instance: change back a password to extend its useful life before it expires, you must enter 10 commands/strings: login - password - passwd - old - new - new - passwd - new - old - old, it will take you a minute nearly if fast and correctly, change 100 passwords will take 100 minutes. 2UPM does this in only a few seconds.
Avoid inputting incorrect passwords or forgetting them.
Free yourself from the troublesome passwords generation and management.

Usually, the sources of password change requirement are security ensuring for the OSs and/or applications, internal request (company or department even yourself) and external request (for instance: Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) law). If your OS and/or applications have these requirements, 2UPM can greatly increase your work efficiency in this area.
