Hello Shaun, i'd recommend the following options: - Usermin - a Web interface for Linux system users to login and change aspects of their environment including passwords (http://www.webmin.com/usermin.html) - There are some hacks out there utilizing PHP and PAM (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3032785/php-pam-to-change-user-password) for changing the password - keep in mind to restrict the change password webpage to ssl only! - As already mentioned most webmail apps come include plugins to change passwords for various authentication backends; here's the list for roundcube's "password"-plugin: 2. Drivers 2.1. Database (sql) 2.2. Cyrus/SASL (sasl) 2.3. Poppassd/Courierpassd (poppassd) 2.4. LDAP (ldap) 2.5. DirectAdmin Control Panel (directadmin) 2.6. cPanel (cpanel) 2.7. XIMSS/Communigate (ximms) 2.8. Virtualmin (virtualmin) 2.9. hMailServer (hmail) 2.10. PAM (pam) 2.11. Chpasswd (chpasswd) 2.12. LDAP - no PEAR (ldap_simple) 2.13. XMail (xmail) Kind regards -sd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
