Use webmin - webmin.com Create a group in webmin and assign that group access only to the 'password change' function. We use this in our office internally and it works great. Some users have access to a lot of stuff, while most can only change their password. For us, the fact that it syncs to SAMBA and we can dump it into NetInfo for OSX is all the better. In the alternative, look at the source code in webmin for the 'password change' function and see how they do it. - mike On 7/21/02 10:25 PM, "Evren Yurtesen" <eyurtese@turkuamk.fi> wrote: > Yes but thats involving putting passwords to a text file and then > verifying them from mysql etc. What good can come from that kind of > system? then in another post it is talking about poppasswd > I tried that also.
