I am working on a linux machine - Red Hat Linux release 7.0.
I tried to change my password using "passwd" command.
I used meta-characters in my password. I got the following error message.
"passwd: Authentication token manipulation error"
If this is the case, how can I use meta-characters in my password and set it
using passwd command.
Thanks,
Sandeep
1. Command grouping meta-characters in Korn Shell.
The 'C'-shell has the curly braces, '{' and '}' that help group
commands together. e.g ls file{1,2} would cause a match
of file1 and file2.
What is the equivalent in 'K' shell ?.
Is there a list that details equivalent functionality between
the C shell and K shell ?.
Would appreciate a 'cc' copy to my email address, alongwith
net posts.
Thanks
