What about using pam-python to write a PAM module for changing passwords, that update everything GOsa would do. This way a simple 'passwd' command would work, any program using PAM would work and the need to block the normal password change process to point people to GOsa would go away. Not quite sure what you mean by 'outside', so it might not be a good option. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
