Quickly update user password in an automated fashion

 Helpful when updating a user password in a script for small test clusters:

$  ssh remoteserver 'useradd newuser;  $PASSWD_COMMAND'

where $PASSWD_COMMAND  is one of the following:

    echo -e "newpassword\newpassword" | passwd newuser

    echo "newuser:newpassword" | chpasswd

    echo "newpassword" | passwd --stdin newuser
