RedHat allows you to pipe a password into useradd by using the --stdio 
switch. SuSE 7.3 for Sparc doesn't permit this option, nor does it appear to 
present one similar. Could anyone suggest an alternative that allows a script 
(PHP shell_exec()'ing bash, but that should be immaterial) to create a user 
account and set its password?

Thanks for any suggestion.
