its possible and its very easy. You can even creat and delete users. Just read about invoking shell scripts or executing system commands.
But as you are changing the system passwords. first you should know about implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL), other wise it would be easier for hacker to tap in and get the passwords. I am sure there would be some read packages to do all user management tasks. May be Gurus can put for light on the subject.
