Re: default password

[garcia_pan@xxxxxx]

Hi Kaushal

I don't know if there is (or which is) a default password assigned for a
new user created usind useradd, but after the definition of a new user (for
example "patata") you can change his password using the passwd command in
this way (being root!):

[root@obelix /usr/local/users]# passwd patata
Changing password for user patata.
New password: <PUT PASSWORD HERE>
Retype new password: <CONFIRM PASSWORD HERE>
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@obelix /usr/local/users]#

Hope this can help you.

Pedro
