So > are there any tools for this? No tools are present that I know of, but using a little Perl/CGI or PHP to execute passwd is pretty simple. Just be sure to use a series of checks so people don't send in chars that can be interpreted for execution or have special purpose uses by shells. Don't suggest this solution as it is insecure, but it's an example: <http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-linux-or-unix-system-password-using-php-script.html>. Don't remember how to change the password using command line arguments either, but I know it can be done somehow (pw? passwd?), some way.. - -Garrett -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.1 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFkkfxEnKyINQw/HARAnHbAJ48STx6HSweC70knqKg0jTqO4sMygCgrWhJ sumICGu1LY1AIzHtW2uZrgo= =ios+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
