It is possible to Change a passwd 3

Hi,
You simply use the 'passwd' command. Logged on as the user just enter 'passwd' and it will prompt you for a new one, etc. If you don't know what it is for some reason, then change it from a root # prompt using the syntax 'passwd user' (where user is the name of the userid you want to change the password of.
Or did you mean to somehow let remote mailbox users change their own passwords ?

Please see the other two posts on this issue: also see
; and the expect website at nist.
There is a sample script I write in the bash/perl post,
that you can tune for yourself.
