You don't. it's that simple.
authpf is not a shell. It is designed to let the user do NOTHING.
I will not change it so users can do something with it.
users should not have a shell on the box authpf is running on.
Want them to change their passwords? give them a real
shell on a DIFFERENT MACHINE where they can change their passwords, or
make a web page that does it for them. Search the list archives, I've
posted previously the perl for one I use at the U of A.
