Title: Adding users remotely / changinf user passwords remotely
Post by: Adrian Brown on December 17, 2001, 05:21:41 PM

How can I allow users to change their passwords remotely, as in over the internet outside the LAN. I know using the /e-smith-password, you can change the password internally, but security issues means you cant do it remotely.

It would be nice to be able to add users remotely, or even better access the /e-smith-manager from outside the network.

Is this possible?
