How to create password in the script?

I submitted a script to UNIX review a few years back. In the posting I
included a C program that could be used to set passwords for accounts.
These can be viewed at (
http://www.unixreview.com/documents/s=1780/urm0111f/ ).
The C program has been compiled on Solaris 2.5.1 - Solaris 10.

I used this shell script and C program to build student accounts while
teaching the Southern Methodist University's (SMU) Advanced Computer
Education Courses ( ACEC). This script took a file that had a list of
students one per line with their Firstname Lastname or Firstname MI
Lastname. The file was read one line at a time to create unique logins
accounts. A script was created to be viewed by the system administrator
before being run. The resulting script would use mkusers with
appropriate options to create the accounts then call the 'setpass'
program to set each students password.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the script or
the C program.
