Re: change password via http

["Onime Clement" <onime@ictp.trieste.it>]

I've set up something similar in the past using usermin's
(http://www.webmin.com) password changing module. It was configured to use
PAM for the authentication and password changing. I think I had to modify
slightly the perl code for changing passwords to work..
But it maybe an overkill as you need to also install webmin to configure
usermin..
But it uses the perl Net-SSL module to handle https connections and you
can setup a self-signed certificate or install a real one.
