The only roll windows played, if any, is you sending the tarball attached --me downloading the attached tarball via SquirrelMail to a vista machine thereafter, moving the tarball via the lan to a user in the 'whell group' on the SM box. Not until the tarball was on the SM machine did it get unpacked; I still have the original email with the attachment as-well-as the original tarball (unpackaged) on the *nix machine --if you would like to review either of them.

Step five. The original issue we were trying to address with change_passwd-4.0-1.2.8.tar.gz was, it disabled the entire 'Options' page while using compat ver-2. We didn't think 'step-5' applied to this FreeBSD machine as the 'INSTALL' file didn't specifically name it (FreeBSD), leaving us with no reason to think 'step-5' applied to our situation or issue; I thought we tested 'change_passwd' at least once. However, I will try 'step-5' now. RESULTS: gcc -lcrypt -O -o chpasswd chpasswd.c chpasswd.c:33:19: error: crypt.h: No such file or directory A little googling leads us to believe that "the crypt() function is defined in unistd.h, not crypt.h". I tried replacing #include <crypt.h> with #include <unistd.h>, remember we're not programmers; chpasswd continues to not function on FreeBSD-7.3. Given this crypt.h issue, is there anything, within reason, that can be done for this machine and change_passwd 4.3BATA7; or should I have a look at Vadmin; provided it allows 'users' to change their own password at will. vpop and the like is way too-much, we're not even interested in mysql at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
