Topic: password setting in contrib - dev question

[Ludwig]

I'm not sure if now this is also the place for dev question, so perhaps excuse.

I want to have the user password in my application set when
this is done in the server-manager (Collaboration->Users),
i.e. my setpasswd routine should be called with the chosen
password.

I found that I cannot act as described in the contrib-howtos
by adding or overriding a template
as the password is only passed to a perl function called
esmith::util::setUserPassword, code in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/util.pm

Any ideas how to do this, preferably without patching a foreign rpm.
