Web Page for changing UNIX password

[Rainer von Bongartz]

A lot of my users need to change
their UNIX password but they dont't have (and will not have) shell access to the 11.0 box.

I'm thinking about a Web page users should use to change their UX password.(Trusted system)

Did anyone see such a solution and could point me to some infos ???

Perhaps if you install a web console:

The USERS are able to change password via web-interface.

Could you not just use the passwd -f command to force the login program to ask for a new password the next time that user does a login? You could always enable password aging as well so they routinely have to change them every now and again?
man passwd has all the details.

Enjoy!

We use "expect" to do this...

The web page is on a secure place in web server, of course.

Hope this help
