New Attachment: passwd-h3_passwd-shell.patch
to mail-only users, but still give them a venue for changing their
password securely (through ssh): They just set the login shell to
/bin/passwd . In this way the user can "ssh in" and gets dumped into
the password changing application immediately, and can do nothing else
with his "ssh account". Crude, but works well.
This patch adds support for this situation to the passwd expect
script. It is forward-ported from my patch to passwd version 2.2.1 and
I can't formally test it as I don't have a working Horde3 install yet,
but the code looks similar enough that I'm confident it will work as
well.
