您可以运行passwd命令并向其发送管道输入。所以，你可以这样做:

echo thePassword | passwd theUsername --stdin

您可以在bash脚本中使用expect。

#!/usr/bin/expect 
######################################### 
#$ file: htpasswd.sh 
#$ desc: Automated htpasswd shell script 
######################################### 
#$ 
#$ usage example: 
#$ 
#$ ./htpasswd.sh passwdpath username userpass 
#$ 
###################################### 

set htpasswdpath [lindex $argv 0] 
set username [lindex $argv 1] 
set userpass [lindex $argv 2] 

# spawn the htpasswd command process 
spawn htpasswd $htpasswdpath $username 

# Automate the 'New password' Procedure 
expect "New password:" 
send "$userpass\r" 

expect "Re-type new password:" 
send "$userpass\r"

请使用sudo权限运行以下脚本，通过脚本创建用户。

注意:此脚本支持所有linux操作系统，如Redhat, Centos, Ubuntu, suse, kali, Arch, Bitname, BSD....等

#!/bin/bash
#author: bablish jaiswal
#purpos: Linux user creation with a storng password
clear
#echo "Hi, I am a function to create sudo user with strong password. Kindly share following information"
echo -e "\n\n\n"
printf "\e[6;33mHi, I am a function to create sudo user with a strong password. Kindly share following information\e[0m";echo
read -p "user name:- " name #input name
read -p "complete path for $name home directory? example: /home/$name :- " home #user home path
( useradd  -m -d $home $name -s /bin/bash ) > /dev/null 2>&1
pass=$(cat /dev/urandom |tr -dc "[[:graph:]]" |head -c16)
(echo -e "$pass\n$pass" | passwd $name ) > /dev/null 2>&1
echo " "
printf "\e[6;33m-----------------------------Copy below credentials-------------------------\e[0m";echo
echo -e "User:- $name\nHomeDir:- $home\npassword:- $pass"
#svalue=$(cat /etc/sudoers |grep -i root |grep -i all|tail -n1 |awk '{$1=""}1')
svalue=$(cat /etc/sudoers |grep -i root |grep -i all|tail -n1 |awk '{print $2}')
echo "${name} ${svalue} NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers && echo “Remark:- User $name is a sudo user”

这里有一个脚本，将为您.....

如果你愿意，你可以添加一个用户列表(或者只是一个用户)，一次完成，每个用户都有不同的密码。作为奖励，脚本的末尾会显示每个用户的密码. ....如果您愿意，您可以添加一些用户维护选项

如:

chage -m 18 $user
chage -M 28 $user

到将设置密码年龄等的脚本。

         # save user and password in a file
         echo -e $user"\t"$pass >> "$LOGFILE"

./my_add_user.sh用户PASSWD

代码:

#!/bin/bash
# my_add_user.sh

if [ "$#" -lt 2 ] 
 then
       echo "$0 username passwd"
       exit
fi

user=$1
passwd=$2

useradd $user -d /data/home/$user  -m  ;
echo $passwd | passwd $user --stdin;

在Debian和Red Hat上都可以工作的解决方案。依赖于perl，使用sha-512散列:

cat userpassadd
    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    salt=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9/_- | head -c16)
    useradd -p $(perl -e "print crypt('$2', '\$6\$' . '$salt' . '\$')") $1

用法:

userpassadd jim jimslongpassword

它可以有效地作为一行程序使用，但你必须自己在正确的地方指定密码、盐和用户名:

useradd -p $(perl -e "print crypt('pass', '\$6\$$salt\$')") username
