You could also use the console (export $DISPLAY etc.) http://directory.fedoraproject.org/ '... Graphical console for all facets of user, group, and server management ...' It's been a while since I've looked at it, but, you may want to investigate the Directory Server Gateway DSGW http://www.directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/DSGW_Install_Guide Lastly, does anyone have an interesting application that allows users to request a new password via a Web interface and a subsequent Email ?
