Comment	> Some admins use the following hack in order not to give shell access > 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.
