change password without shell access
Hello! I'm looking tool for freebsd that allows user to change their password without access to server. If there are any? We're running mail server with nologin account and would like to let users change their password. From www would be preferred way. And possibly to change their .forward file too. So are there any tools for this? -- kpn @ IRCnet ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So are there any tools for this? No tools are present that I know of, but using a little Perl/CGI or PHP to execute passwd is pretty simple. Just be sure to use a series of checks so people don't send in chars that can be interpreted for execution or have special purpose uses by shells. Don't suggest this solution as it is insecure, but it's an example: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-linux-or-unix-system-password-using-php-script.html. Don't remember how to change the password using command line arguments either, but I know it can be done somehow (pw? passwd?), some way.. - -Garrett -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFkkfxEnKyINQw/HARAnHbAJ48STx6HSweC70knqKg0jTqO4sMygCgrWhJ sumICGu1LY1AIzHtW2uZrgo= =ios+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: change password without shell access
You need to look at the web-based email extensions. There are a few of these, Squirrel Mail is one. You will need to add the modules to support the functions you want. -Derek At 02:42 AM 12/27/2006, Perttu Laine wrote: Hello!

I know squirrel plugins would be one solution, but problem is that we run webmail on remote machine and don't want to move it into mailserver 'cause it would need more cpu and memory there. And running squirrelmail just for password changing on mail server would be kinda stupid 'cause people would need to login other webmail just to change their password. We would prefer some much easier solution. -- kpn @ IRCnet ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: change password without shell access
That is the easy solution, as there are plug ins for the vacations and password. Otherwise you will need to roll your own. -Derek At 06:39 AM 12/27/2006, Perttu Laine wrote: On 12/27/06, Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You need to look at the web-based email extensions.
