Actually along the qmail way I wrote a utility that does
qmail/proftpd/passwd style adds/deletes and passwording.. passwording a
user is along the lines of "userconf -q -u joe -p password"
-q meaning qmail -u user and -p password.. that's it, it will modify the
password for the guy.. I wrote it in about 15 mins so there is little
documentation obviously, but there is a -h --help .. if anyone wants this
utility, as always my code is free so let me know.
