>I'm looking web interface for poppassd. Any idea?

I use :
<form action="/cgi-bin/change-pass.cgi" method="POST">
Enter your username (all lower case): <BR>
<input type=text name="username" size=20><BR>
<P>
Enter your current password: <BR>
<input type="password" name="oldpasswd" size=20><br>
Select a new password: <BR><input type="password" name="passwd" size=20> <BR>
Re-enter your new password for verification: <BR>
<input type="password" name="passwd1" size=20> <p>
<input type="submit" value="Change Password">
<input type = "reset" value = "Clear Fields">
</form>

with the change-pass.cgi to do this. I've sent this to you in private
mail. Anyone else wanting it please mail me directly.

I would _strongly_ recommend installing poppassd with TCP/Wrappers,
and only allowing access from the web server. It makes it a bit
more secure, and prevents people using something like Eudora to
change their password over potentially insecure lines.

I had to fudge the poppassd to use a script file that had -l as a 
parameter; I'm on a network that uses Kerberos IV.
