How is that a password change script (as the subject requests)?
If you really want to do web based password changes, make sure you're doing
it over https.
I do this using a combination of poppassd, and a php script I wrote that
talks to the poppassd running on the local machine. Why poppassd? It
avoids running an httpd as root, running suid cgi processes, or other
such nonsense.. Configure your firewall (or use ipchains) to NOT allow
poppassd connections from outside of your local LAN, as it uses clear
passwords. In my case, this is ok, since the php script talks to the
poppassd running on localhost.
I use the ceti version of poppassd (since it is PAM-ified):
/home/jcostom$ rpm -q poppassd-ceti
poppassd-ceti-1.8-1
Here's a link to the php class I wrote to interface with the poppassd.
