I would like to write a Korn shell script that reads from a list of
servers and for each server, executes a remote shell command that
resets a user's password. However, I want to know if there might be
another way to do this instead of rsh because I think that for
security reasons, all the Berkely commands have been disabled. Does
anybody have any suggestions?

It's probably no big deal to install expect, but there's a lot of other
ways to do it.

A simple PAM app, pam_start, pam_chauthtok, pam_end and a conv function
is a simple homegrown program that uses only published interfaces...
