RE: How to change the unix-user's password from window.

If your OS is WIN or NT, I have software that I wrote to do the same for our helpdesk users.

It is customized for us, adding users, printers, etc. {Only helpdesk users allowed to use this app} -----Original Message----- From: bofh@mailbox.co.za [mailto:bofh@mailbox.co.za] Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2000 8:30 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: How to change the unix-user's password from window.
