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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
