1. Set their shell to /usr/bin/passwd, so they can telnet in and
change password. Another way is set up poppassd, and let them
change password via Eudora or a WWW-interface to poppassd.
2. Use wu-ftpd, and use its guestgroup feature (chroot them!).
This way, they can get their E-Mail via pop, change their
password, and restricted only to their web-space via ftp.

Brian
