What I did was to set everyones "shell" in the password file to the
passwd program. I then published instructions telling everyone how
to use telnet to connect to the machine. When they connect the
system runs the passwd program and thus changes their password. It
tooks almost no effort on my part since all of the programs are
standard components on the FreeBSD server.
