No, as I stated earlier, the password change does take about 35-40 seconds to complete.
We are not using a standard passwd program. We have written a custom one that has to contact a remote administration system which in turn has to contact a number of other systems for password updates. It is grossly inelegant, but it's what we're stuck with right now (due to number of completely different authentication schemes we're asked to support, gotta love inherited systems). Still haven't had the chance to recompile yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Varshavchik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 7:32 PM Subject: [courier-users] Re: Webmail password changing - expect script return codes? > Andrew Gray writes: > > > I just timed it, the page is indeed returning after precisely 15 seconds. > > > > Too tired to recompile Courier tonight, and it's not mission critical.
