I assume you mean the authsystem.passwd file? I don't know a thing about expect... Before I go into this, have any of you out there solved this problem for FreeBSD 4.4. I'm not sure how this stuff works, but it seems that FreeBSD's passwd program behaves differently when root invokes it than when a user invokes it. When root uses it, passwd seems to expect a user as an argument, and it doesn't prompt for an old password. For users, passwd does expect an old password. (Makes sense...) How does sqwebmail invoke it?
Again, if someone out in FreeBSD land has this worked out, I'd greatly appreciate your insight... -John On Tue, Nov 27, 2001 at 10:31:14PM +0000, Sam Varshavchik wrote: > J.
