Install poppassd from /usr/ports/mail/poppassd

Then grab one of my scripts:

	http://home.psknet.com/troy/passwd.php.txt
	http://home.psknet.com/troy/passwd.pl.txt

The PHP script is self contained.  For the perl script, you'll need to
create a form (username, passwd, np1, np2)

Should take you all of about 5 minutes to get up and running.

G'luck,

**
**
** I did this - took me ages to figure out how ;)
**
** This was my method:-
**
** 1. Create a web form, thats asks for there username, current
** password, new pass,
** verify new pass.
**
** 2. Have there current password verified against a MySQL database
** with a perl
** script.
**
** 3. If ok, drop there new password into a plain text file with the format
** username,password \n . Have a seperate plain text file that will
** have there new
** password in a SQL UPDATE statement in, say, newpass.sql
**
** 4. Every ten minutes, have another perl script on cron process
** the plain text
** files.
**
** Process the MySQL with something like "mysql -upass -padmin passworddb <
** /var/passtmp/newpass.sql
**
** Then process the password plain text file, with something like this:
**
** open (UD, "</var/passtmp/newpass-add");
** if (!defined UD) {
**   print "Fuck! Error!\n\n";
**   exit;
** }
**
** $passcount = 0;
** @PASSCOUNT = "";
** while (<UD>) {
**  @LINE = split /,/;
**  foreach $value (@LINE) {
**
** Put your own hack here :)
**
** }
**
** I'll give you a clue for updating the passwords with your own
** hack, and that is
** adduser is a perl script ;)
**
** I copied the adduser script and then hacked it to include my own
** processing for
** the web stuff and ran it seperatly.
**
** Have Fun
**
