Setting password for multiple users via shell script

I was recently helping the system admin at my college to set up an ubuntu
server .
I used `*useradd*` in a shell script to create about 100 users and set
permissions .
But I could not figure out how to set passwords for each account as the
password for all the accounts was the same .
So we had to do it manually using `passwd`,

Is there any way to set the password via a script in a non interactive way ?

      We can use expect and do it. Or if you are inclined to using
python, use python-pexpect. Thanks

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ,
I found this http://linux.die.net/man/1/expect article which explains a
lot.

If possible please do elaborate on it .

You can use "newusers" to  create user accounts or set passwords in batch mode.

I don't use expect.

In OpenBSD there is a way to create a password digest replete with salt
 using adduser(1).

You are in the right direction.
