This bug will give you some clues as to how it's done in sme7
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1949

also see
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161

Look in the log files (eg messages log) to see what is called up at password change time and then read the code

Thanks Ray,
I have solved all my problems.

- For the first point i have modified the /etc/e-smith/events/actions/user-create-unix to call an external script to set a default password.
- For the second point i have modified the /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/CGI/FormMagick/Validator/Network.pm.

Would you care to share your script changes, that could be useful one day.

Simply installed expect and used the example script to change password at the end of the "user-create-unix".

You don't need to do that. You can use a symlink in /etc/e-smith/events/users-create so that your script is called after the unmodified user-create-unix. Have you read the Developers Guide?

What has that to do with passwords?
