[Anon]

hi all
i was able to create user from web broswer but not able to set password.

my error log is 😮nly root can do that
if i execute passwd from web broswrr.

my script is:

exec("sudo -u root echo '$password'|passwd --stdin '$username'");

Help

maybe try using ssh or telnet?
if you have shell access try this

'passwd username'
it will prompt you for a new pass..

otherwise you could also try perl..

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

to change the pass

$command = passwd root;

not sure how you would answer the 'double' prompt it sends back, maybe with 'while'..

while($command){
send first pass
break;
}

if($command){
send second pass
exit;
}
