Hi Ruiz, Look for 'Usermin' at www.webmin.com. It's a webserver written in perl that allow users to do basic tasks, such as change the password. It's very easy to setup and you can configure to allow only password changes, disabing other features. TQ. On Thu, 2 Oct 2003, Ruiz Cifuentes, Rolando Matias (CL - Santiago) wrote:
Here is the scenario: RedHat 7.2 using shadows passwords -> used for popmail use popmail users are RedHat users, so their password are in /etc/shadow users dont know nothing about linux (they are windows basic users) Here is my problem: I need to make them (~200 users) able to change their linux (mail) pasword remotely, in the easiest every ever thought way. how can i do this? (i' dont care if passwds are send in plaint text over the net) I' was thiking in something like: telnet myserver anyport (using a .bat file in their computers) and then the server replies something like: Enter your Username: <user> Enter your OldPass: <pass1> Enter your NewPass: <pass2> Enter your NewPass again: <pass2> Your password has been change. Have a nice day! do anyone knows anyway to do this? (in this or any other way) thaks for your help --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
