Committed, thanks. Can you please explain why this doesn't work with the expect driver, and how made it work with the procopen driver? If I use the expect driver, the webpage always states that the update was succesful, even if I entered a wrong password or a too short new password. I used the following lines in backends.php to get the script running with sudo: ------ $backends['sudo_passwd'] = array( 'name' => 'Webmail', 'preferred' => '', 'password policy' => array(), 'driver' => 'procopen', 'params' => array( 'program' => '/usr/bin/expect ' . dirname(__FILE__) . '/../scripts/passwd_expect -sudo' ) ); =====

Could you please add the following comments to the script? I forgot that myself.... # alter sudoers (using visudo) so it contains the following information: # ----- # # Needed for Horde's passwd module # Runas_Alias REGULARUSERS = ALL, !root # apache ALL=(REGULARUSERS) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/passwd # -----

Apologies, other projects demanded my attention... I merged it into the passwd_expect.

Can't you merge this with the existing passwd_expect script?

I didn't like the current possibilities and decided to copy one of the expect scripts and change it to use sudo. I could not get it to work with the 'expect' driver, but with the 'procopen' driver it works great!
