Steve,
I was faced with a similar problem. You could write an expect script (yes,
yet another scripting language ;). Expect is specifically for interacting with
these type of processes. With an expect script, you can call your favorite
password generator program and use that to seed the principal accounts. I
would also suggest that you set the principals such that they must use this
password to get a new password.
Let me know if you want the scripts that I'm using.
Regards,
