Fedora directory users - May 2006 - Command Line Question - Regarding Admin Passwords

Is there anyway to change the admin and directory manager password
via a command line script or utility instead of going through the Console?

Thanks

Joe

*For directory manager:

# ldapmodify -h <DS hostname> -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w
<password>
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-rootpw
nsslapd-rootpw: <newpassword>


For console admin:

**# ldapmodify -h <DS hostname> -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w
<password>
dn: uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: <newpassword>*

Thanks - Unfortunately I''ve ldapmodify just hangs on me.

I''ve used the following line
./ldapsearch -b o=netscaperoot -D "cn=directory manager" -w password
"objectclass=nsAdminConfig" -p 1389 -v

Just to make sure I could connect at all.

Any reason ldapmodify would just sit there on the "init"

Thanks

Joe

ldapmodify is an interactive application.  It is waiting for you to type 
in the command
dn: uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: <newpassword>

followed by Ctrl-D

Thanks - that''s what I thought but I went to the -f option -
Now the problem is my directory manager password isn''t changing
using the ldapmodify but my admin password using ldapmodify works great.

Using the command below ldapmodify comes back with complete but
the password still hasn''t changed - double checking the command
I''m using

ldapmodify -h <DS hostname> -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w
<password> -f
/tmp/joe

/tmp/joe
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-rootpw
nsslapd-rootpw: <newpassword>

Thanks Again for the Help - Much appreciated.

Joe
