Hi Ben,
Thanks.
Yes , Kpasswd can be used . But it requires users interaction in the
console , I am looking for other methods wherein users dont need to enter
their passwords in the console. i.e pass the parameters to the kpasswd
console programatically .
However , I heard from one of the members in the mailing list that it is
not possible to avoid user interaction. See below for our interaction.
Regards,
AK

Oh, that's actually a legitimate cause of that error message. Okay.
It's not possible to use *kpasswd* without user interaction, but it's
definitely possible to use the underlying call to change a user's password
without interaction. Look at kadmin, particularly kadmin change_password.
kerberos@mit.edu can help further with that.
