Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:04:35 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10686 passwd can't find/use the expect binary I just added passwd, enabled expect because I need to change the password of system users. When I try to alter it, horde brings this error: Fehler beim Ändern des Passworts für Expect Script: /usr/bin/expect existiert nicht oder ist nicht ausführbar. --> it can't find or execute the expect binary. "which expect" returns: /usr/bin/expect "ls -al /usr/bin/expect" returns: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6.8K Oct 27 2010 /usr/bin/expect Apache user also has a shell: "cat /etc/passwd | grep www-data": www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:04:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10686#t68401 This doesn't have anything to do with Horde, but with your PHP setup. You probably have safe_mode or open_basedir restrictions applied.

However the expect.log in /tmp shows this: expect: spawn id exp7 not open while executing "expect { -re $fingerprint_string {sleep .5 send yes\r exp_continue} -re $password_st..." invoked from within "if {![string match $login "sudo"]} { # log in expect { -re $fingerprint_string {sleep .5 send yes\r ..." (file "/var/www/horde/passwd/lib/../scripts/passwd-expect" line 185) Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:48:32 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10686#t68411 But that's a completely different issue. Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:09:14 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10686#t68413 So you can split it into another bug report or shall I open one? > But that's a completely different issue. Fri, 28 Oct 2011 15:29:09 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10686#t68414 It's already closed. But before opening a new, check first if this isn't caused by open_basedir too.
