    Hi

    I am trying to achive something similar to the following command

    echo new-password | passwd user --stdin

    However when I try this I get an error saying only root is allowed passwd.

    If I execute the same command as root this works.

    I am disabling root ssh into the machine and am running this command piggybacked on ssh

    Is there some other command I can use to change this users password assuming i am logged in as that user?
