You'd just have to call qmailadmin with a special URL, and it would pop up with a very simple page for changing password. It's in my todo list for the 1.1 development series of qmailadmin. Once we release a stable version based on the current 1.0.25, I'll look into doing it. If someone wants to design the page, perhaps in the same style as the current qmailadmin pages, that would make my work easier. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester

My vpopmail setup is currently using CDB, and to convert to MySQL takes time as I would need ALL my users to login. Considering the number of inactive accounts I have, that might take some months down the road. As such, is there anyone kind enough to guide me on this? Regards, David Choo

Hi, > i set suid of the vpasswd command in vpopmail/bin direct. > then i execute this command with script,it works. > is it correct way. Basic rule: If someone has to ask if her/his suid script is sure, it probably isn't:-) Also suid scripts, i.e. text files interpreted by a shell, perl or so have some extra pitfalls regarding security, which a real program does not have. You have to make sure, that only persons in need to use the script can actually use it, by setting the right permissions and performing necessary tests regarding who calls the script otherwise anyone could change anybody elses password. All user input, arguments etc. should be accuratly verified, to make sure no one can abuse of your program, using specially crafted input to be able to do more, than you want to allow such a user to do. claudio -- Claudio Nieder, Kanalweg 1, CH-8610 Uster, Tel +41 79 357 6743 yahoo messenger: claudionieder aim: claudionieder icq:42315212 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.claudio.ch
