The problem: Your users need to change their passwords in a linux system.

The solution: A webpage to do just that.

Requires:

• Colubrid
• checkpassword-pam

How it works:

1. You run it on the box whose passwords need changing.
2. Your users access http://your.server:8080
3. They change their passwords

Configuration:

Probably you don't need to do anything. If it doesn't work right, try checking this piece of the script:

#################
## Configuration
#################

port=8080
chpasswd='/usr/sbin/chpasswd'
checkpassword-pam='/usr/bin/checkpassword-pam'
pam_service='xdm'

#################
## That's it
#################

If you want to change the look of the webpage, change the contents of the webpage variable in the script. It's the one that has HTML in it.
