Um, I don't see any scripts in the expect package that return encrypted
passwords. mkpasswd just generates passwords and sticks them in the
/etc/passwd file if you're root. None of the other scripts seem any closer.
Nor do I see anything helpful in shadow-utils. Granted, I'm not looking
at a TurboLinux box, but I doubt that matters. Which ones are you talking
about that do the equivalent of perl -e 'print crypt("password","aa"),"\n"'
?
