I am using:

Runtime thisRun = Runtime.getRuntime();

String cmd = "/tmp/chgpasswd /tmp/" + UserName + ".pstxt";

proc = thisRun.exec(cmd);

you might notice that chgpasswd is a shell script that I picked on this site :)

to change a user's password from a jsp file. the password is writen to the user's username.pstxt file. Before writing the password, I encrypted it as such

String cryptedID = MD5Crypt.crypt(new_p_word);

while will give me something like :
userid:encryptedpassword in my file.

I get an exception saying that the password is too long. I used -e but with no veil.

Any ideas?
