Chaning user password under linux

[Anon]

Hi.

How is it possible to change a users password on a linux system with php? And what is the safest way to do it? Anybody have some kind of clue?

Best way would be, Create a bash script to change username and password, and call that script using php.

system("/path/to/script $username $password");
