Change Linux Password?

[edwardally]

Hi,

I'm using Fedora 9 system user for email and interfaced with RoundCube. Now, I wish to change to password for Fedora system users, how can it be done?

Thanks in advanced.

What mail server are you using?

What mail server are you using?

Fedora 9 Dovecot (authenticate with local system users)

then all you need to do is run this command:

Code Select Expand


passwd username

Code Select Expand


passwd username


hahaha....

Sorry for the misunderstand, what i looking for is some plugs-in which can help my users to change their own password. I've been searching for so many password plugs in but non of them able to change the system password.

P/s: I can't teach the users to run the command line over the console or whatever.

I'm using dovecot on RHEL5, with Roundcube on a remote server. I use the normal password plugin. But the key is that you need to have something else on the IMAP server to do the actual changing. In my case I have poppassd on the mail server, which the plugin can talk to.

I still can't get it.. if using popassd what port should I use to connect the IMAP? what is "something" in the IMAP server and how to integrate the IMAP to change password?

[ABerglund]

IMAP isn't involved. poppassd uses port 106, IIRC. All the plugin does is provide a web frontend to contact poppassd. Read the poppassd man page.

I got it finally... Thanks

But....

I still encounter some problem here. I successful install poppassd in my system and it seems working fine but when I try to change to password it return OLD PASSWORD IS INCORRECT.
Whats wrong here? I know this is nothing todo with roundcube anymore but I still hope someone here can help me.

There are so many similar cases over the internet but non of them come with solution.

To troubleshoot poppassd, try connecting via telnet on port 106. Check the man pages so you can interpret what it is doing. You will get more troubleshooting error messages via telnet.
