Hi folk! I've been messing around with providing some simple network administration tools via Zope, to the people in my office. One thing I would like to do is create a page that will allow my users to change both their "normal" Linux password (used by most people in my office for mail only) and their Samba password (used by almost everybody in the office for connectivity to our server). It's quite easy to train these people how to change one or the other of the passwords, but getting them to change both at the same time has been a problem. Hence, my desire to write a Zope app that will--given their existing password, and a new password--update both the passwd file and the smbpasswd file. I didn't think very far ahead, and while I have some nice tools that use Expect to change the password, I haven't figured out how to run an External Method as someone other than nobody. Any suggestions? -- Stand Fast, tjg. ======================= Timothy Grant Red Hat Certified Engineer VP Technology/CTO Avalon Technology Group tjg@avalongroup.net www.avalongroup.net (503) 246-3630 (503) 246-3124 Fax
