Would it be dangerous to use /usr/bin/passwd as a shell for users? I would prefer not to give interactive shells by default, but would like to give them an easy way to change their passwords. I'm too paranoid to use a web-based password changer. What about a shell script that printed some information and then ran passwd? Wil -- W.
