Hi, I need some help getting cleared up with an issue I had this afternoon (and still trying to figure out now). I have Perl 5.6.1 installed at work. It didn't come (AFAIK) with NDBM_FILE.pm. (Required for chpass... which brings me to a different question that I'll ask after this). So I go to CPAN and check the DATABASE INTERFACES section. I find NDBM_FILE. I go there and find tarballs of perl5.6.0, 5.6.1 and 5.8.0. as well as subfolders of two authors.
If I may, I'd like to ask some questions : 1) Pardon my ignorance, but is NDBM_FILE.pm now included with the Perl tarballs? If so, I just need to d/l the latest (I'm assuming 5.8.0) and install it? 2) Since 5.6.1 is installed right now, can I install 5.8.0 over it without uninstalling 5.6.1? (Btw, I'm running Slackware Linux 8.0). With regards to chpass, I'm trying to create a web-based page so that local intranet users can use that to change their email password. Security wise, is this a good idea? The page itself is only accessible via a few specific local IPs. Is there a module out there that can help me in this regard? I've only gotten to the point of grabbing the user's username, old password and new password from a form. I can parse the information easily. It's after parsing that I"m unsure as how to go about in changing the user's password. Since I'm running the website under a non-root user, changing some other user's password isn't easy. I d/led this tarball (that included the html files to change the password .. wwwpass.??.tar.gz) but since I don't have NDBM_FILE installed I couldn't run it. Any help very much appreciated.
