Email account change password permission
 

Hello everybody!!

I created email account with commands "adduser -s /sbin/nologin test; passwd test";

Is there any way to grant permission to user "test" to change his password by himself?
My system is CentOS 4.4.

Please help me if somebody can.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Since the user does not have a valid shell, he cannot change his password from CLI.
If you use some sort of webmail like squirrelmail, zimbra etc, you can install a plugin that will allow users to change their password from the web interface.

Regards

Thank you very much Bathory for your reply.

I've already changed all users from nologin to login so they can change their passwords.
