Script to change ndmp passwords

[Vman]

I was hoping someone could help me create a script that would change the set_ndmp_attr -auth <filer_name> passwords on several filers using a script the would receive a file of the new password and input that into the script to change the passwords for all of our ndmp root accounts. I'm very new at this, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

The script would work like this:

start script

input new password

input hostname of filer

loop through all filers via list while changing password using the set_ndmp_attr -auth command

show successful changes

end

Thanks for any help

not sure why you would do this.

the ndmp user on the filer has to be changed using the filers commands.

set_ndmp_attr -auth <filer_name> is straight forward and has to be only done when you mess with the filers password

you can try something like this

1. create a file (filerpass) with the filer, user and password columns, i.e:

filer1 user1 password1

filer2 user2 password1

...

filerN userN passowrdN

2. run this:

for LINE in `cat filerpass`

{

    FILER='print $LINE | awk '{print $1}'`

    USER=`print $LINE | awk '{print $2}'`

    PASSWORD=`print $LINE | awk '{print $3}'`

    set_ndmp_attr -auth $FILER $USER $PASSWORD

}

I just did it on the fly without test, but is very near what you need.

Thanks Omar,

This is a great start. We have a requirement to change our passwords every three months, so this will save me a lot of time.

Cheers,
