Program for Squid to allow users change passwords.


Hello all,

I am using squid + dansguardian for web and content filtering. And it is working fine. I am forcing users to use proxy through browser configuration.
Now I am planning to add another layer to controlling access using ncsa_auth program. I know it is not the most secured but I am fine with it. Plain passwords are fine with me.
I will be giving users some default passwords but I want some program for allowing users to change the passwords for the respective users if they want.
Is there any perl script or something web based for the purpose that anyone is using or know of?

Hey bathory, thanks for the link to the program. Have downloaded it already. And will be testing it today. I hope it works the way I want it to.

Hey, the script is working like a charm. I first thought it does not work with hidden password files. My bad. The permissions set on the files were incorrect. I checked with it now and its working. Thanks a lot.
