Linking the webpage with an external script
(via CGI or PHP) that executes the appropiated
passwd and sbmpasswd commands could
be a solution.

Hi,

i've found http://web.onda.com.br/orso/chetcpasswd.html to be very
suitable for my task. All i had to do was add a call for a shell script
to make it change linux password and samba passwort at once.

Look around line 230 in chetcpasswd.c and change to something like

if(ok) {
	sprintf(command,"cp %s %s",template,pwdfile);
	system(command);
	unlink(template);
      	/*here goes code for smbpasswd*/
         	sprintf(command,"/some/path/smbpass.sh %s %s %s",User,
Old_pw, New_pw1);
         	system(command);     =20
         	/*fine code*/
	sprintf(Msg,"<font color=3Dblue size=3D+2>%s %s.",msg18,User);
	Hmsg(Msg, Uid, Gid);

Now compile as needed. The Shellscript needs to be suid root so be able
to change any users password.

Haven't had the time to write the shell script itself which actually
changes the smb password but should be not too hard. I figured out how
to use the -s (silent option by now though):=20
echo -e "oldpass\nnewpass\nnewpass\" | smbpassword -youroptions go
here
-s=20

should do the trick. Hope this helps.

kind regards from Germany
