Dear Danny,
The cgi that I wrote is attached. To my knowledge it is fully functional. It
was developed on a rh6.1 box using perl 5.005_03. You might have to modify the
locations of the path for the user homedir (currently / because the first guy
to ask for the script wanted that (DON"T ASK ME!)
I am doing something simlar for my private intranet. Can you show me
examples of the code please.

It would only take about 17 lines of perl. However, how strongly are you
going to protect this page? I wouldn't even consider this unless this page
will be accessible behind a firewall and htaccess protected. If you need
example code let me know. I can even write it without using CGI.pm if you

I tried using "passwd houze" from root and it seemed to work ok since it
prompted me for a new password and verification. Then it came back with
this:

I think as root you can do "passwd houze" and change that users password.
Or log on as that user and just run passwd. (I don't know if you can log
on as that use
Don't suppose anyone's read the adduser help? :)

or if you're using the shell script adduser (in 4.2) then just find the

well, uhh... for a new user named joe just "adduser joe" should
