password change

christian_derek — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:14:32 GMT

Hi,

I have a machine running 1 instance of the o/s (11iv3) and multiple instance of clients. I need to allow a specific client to be able to reset their password, but only for their group of users. What is the best way of doing that?

Thanks,

to implement a better policy management server hpux you'll have to convert to a trust mode.
run by sam that is easier

Or you can try to use sudo, by giving the person the priv to run passwd in their group.

I think you can use "sudo' as said earlier. How about looking into "privrun" I think this is more for application. This is a new feature in 11.31.

Hi,

How can I allow passwd for a specific group only with sudo?

Thanks,
