Hello,
I'm new in Python, i don't know my subject is correct or wrong. I have
problem with my script. I want to change password with passwd password
in python without user submitted anything from keyboard. I get
tutorial that i must use pipe to process this. And this is my code : -
-
1.
-
2. #!/usr/bin/python
-
3.
-
4. import os
-
5.
-
6. COMMAND = 'passwd'
-
7. PASSWD = 'mypassword'
-
8.
-
9. # open a pipe to passwd program and
-
10. # write the data to the pipe
-
11. p = os.popen("%s" % COMMAND, 'w')
-
12. p.write(PASSWD)
-
13. p.write('\n')
-
14. p.write(PASSWD)
-
15. p.close()
-
16.
-
but i got this error :
[output]
[cp@server cp]$ ./password
Changing password for user cp.
Changing password for cp
(current) UNIX password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[/output]
Anyone can help me how to write to pipe.. i try several method, and always fail.
Thank's

I guess the passwd program doesn't allow changing passwords from a pipe
since it is a potential security hole.

This works with a small string, but not a large one (read returns an

Hi All!
I don't know if this is a Python problem or not. Here is a snippet:
import os
TERM='\n\r\n\r'
cmd = 'cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s9600'
pop = os.popen4(cmd,1)
pop.write('AT'+TERM) # Ping modem

I have a simple test to pass information from a client to a server
using named pipe. what I really want is: when I type a line on the client,
the server will output the line immediately. but to my surprise, I always
have to terminate the client to get the server in action, i.e. prints out
what I typed.
anything I missed? I am compiling using gcc without any option.
thanks,

I'm having trouble querying one table with multiple entries. I'm not
sure if or what kind of joins I need to do this, or if it should be a
make table followed by an append, then an update, or what. I have four
of these db's to work with. This is the smallest db I have. The largest
contains about 260 manholes, and over 500 pipes.
Here are my two tables:

I am trying to implement the UNIX pipe command using C but with the
"->" operator. Everything works fine with 1 pipe, but when I try to
use 2 or more, it hangs up when reading the pipe_in filestream. If
ANYONE could offer ANY suggestion as to why this is happening it would
be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
