unix password change

[mnh3000]

Hello,

I am sorry if this questions sounds too amateurish...

Can someone send me a script that would help me change unix passwords? I need a script that can change UNIX user password based on form submission.

Thanks

Changing a password requires passwd be run as either the user who is changing their password, or as root.

There is just not a good way to do this since anything executed in mod_php is run as the user nobody or httpd and has no rights (or shouldn't) on the system.

There are a few perl and c cgis that can do what you need over at
