Why?
I manage a group of users on a Unix system. They also have an FTP space, and a mailbox (on the system) They are members of the CPS hosted on the Zope. They want to change their FTP/POP/IMAP password.
I would then have this modification done in a tightly controlled external method (from a security point of view) and make sure you use some big Locks (see python threading module's documentation) so multiple simultaneous requests don't cause carnage...
I need to process their request into a batch file.
Why a batch file?
Obviuosly, ther is the LDAP common authentication for the groupware and the system, but the LDAP connection is a work still in progress... they want to change their passwords NOW. The quickest way I found is to code an interface (a form) in wich they ask for the password change.
I would suggest just getting LDAP working ;-) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
