Hi,
Besides of the command "passwd" on Solaris and HP-UX and IRIX that allow users to change their passwords on the system. Is there anyother way a user can change his/her own password. Do any of these systems have a GUI interface to allow the user doing so?
Thanks
on Solaris you could use a GUI called
admintool
To launch issue admintool &
on HP
you could use a GUI called sam
IMO I would not even mention the admintool or SAM to users. It has way to much information in it for normal users.
Admintool usually isn't set up so that joe user can run it. Normal users are not part of the groups that can run admintool and make changes (not even to their own accounts). Changing that would probably make your system prone to breakins.
I'm pretty sure SAM works the same way.
You can always build your own GUI or web page for users.
I do run HPUX and other than copying someones encrypted password in the /etc/passwd file, the passwd command is the only way to do it.
SAM will use the EXACT same commands that you execute from the command line. Look in the log for SAM when you use it.
