[olug] remote password changes

[Daniel Pfile]

Right, mine doesn't do the --stdin. It looks like redhat and suse may  
do it.

Also, check out the passmass script with the expect source distro.  
You could modify it to use ssh instead. Essentially it would act like  
you logging in to each machine and changing the password by hand.
