Subject: cgipaf 1.0.1RC1
Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 13:48:03 CST
"cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail
Forwarding by a web interface.
CGIpaf 1.0.1RC1 is the latest development version of CGIpaf
cgipaf 1.0.1RC1 is available at
http://stafwag.netfirms.com/cgipaf/develop/
mirror http://stafwag.pws.the-ecorp.com/cgipaf/develop/
REQUIREMENTS
+ a Un*x server
+ a mailserver that uses procmail
+ webserver
+ gcc, ndbm or gdbm
OVERVIEW
cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which allow
users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users to
view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS
configuration when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a
.procmailrc in the user's home directory. A user with too many invalid
logins can be locked. The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the
configuration file, so you can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed
to use cgipaf.
CHANGELOG
* version 1.0.1rc1 ( 21 May 2002 )
+ updates to configure
+ documentation update
* version 1.0.1rc1pre2 ( 17 May 2002 )
+ FreeBSD support
* version 1.0.1rc1pre1 ( 29 Apr 2002 )
+ md5 password support on non-pam systems ( Slackware 8.0 )
kind regards,
