Creating password for command on the fly

["Mário Gamito" <gamito@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have this command to create an FTP account:

# pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d /home/pages/gamito

This command asks for the password twice.

I need to pass the password (preferably without expect) so I can
create the account without prompting.

If i run:

# echo secret | pure-pw useradd mario -u 502 -g 502 -n 1000 -N 200 -d
/home/pages/gamito

It reads the first insertion, but asks for the second.

I knew how to do this a long time ago, but I've forgotten and couldn't
find anything useful on Google.

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
