Topic: password changing for users

[Judy]

hi all,
im looking for this howto from the contributed howto list:
"How to implement a user manager panel for e-mail forwarding, procmail, password-changing"

it's not accessible at the moment. or is there an other way that users
can change their passwords (samba password) and create fetchmail entries?

tia and regards
judy

for darrels user-manager  - be careful - letting users have control of mail forwarding will be a disastor if they create loops (my mail gets forwarded to you which gets forwarded to me which gets...)

daniel van raay built the basis, darrell and i just present it nicely

no this will not happen
SME and qmail are more robust than this [see below]

you may be able to create loops but the user has to be more creative


>thank you, i tried it and killed my whole sme 5.5beta4 testserver
did you work out why, the usermanager is GPL the more contributors the merrier
