Thanks to many people for their ideas.  A few people said NIS, which 
isn't an option, and someone, who obviously lives in a world with blue 
sky (it's purple in my world), who said the application owners should be 
responsible for their passwords.

The other responses came in 2 varities: use expect to interact with the 
passwd command or use sed/awk/perl to edit the shadow file.

Thanks to all who answered, if you have an opening for a 7 year Solaris 
admin in your blue sky world please let me know, the purple is begining 
to drive me crazy.
