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. Sincerely, Brian
