Use the Source, Luke.
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4/apps/app_voicemail.c
In it, you'll find:
static void vm_change_password_shell(struct ast_vm_user *vmu, char *newpassword)
{
char buf[255];
snprintf(buf,255,"%s %s %s
%s",ext_pass_cmd,vmu->context,vmu->mailbox,newpassword);
if (!ast_safe_system(buf))
ast_copy_string(vmu->password, newpassword, sizeof(vmu->password));
}
ext_pass_cmd is not defined in that function and hence a global, and its
value is taken from the configuration item "externpass".
The idea is that if the user has a better way of changing the password,
then the externpass script should be used to change the password.
