Hi,

Is is possible to modify a user password using a command line script?
I know about the ALTER USER command from within the client, but this
looks like it's quite insecure, storing the password in the history. I
know it's possible to insert the encrypted password with ALTER USER
but that means generating the hash elsewhere. A simple 'alteruser -P
username' which then prompts for the user password would be nice. Does
this exist?

Thanks,

Dan Scott
