"cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail
Forwarding by a webinterface.

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.
  * mailcfg.cgi:     which updates the mail configuration.

All programs use PAM for the 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, it's
possible to use external script to update the mail configuration to
support other mail configuration than procmail ( a sample Perl script
with vacation support is included ).

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.
 

1.2.0rc1 is the first release candidate of CGIpaf 1.2.0

cgipaf 1.2.0rc1 is available at:

http://staf.patat.org/cgipaf/develop/
mirror: http://stafwag.netfirms.com/cgipaf/develop/


Changelog:

* version 1.2.0RC1  26 Nov 2002
  + setreuid(user_uid,0) added in cgipaf.c
    passwd.cgi should now support all pam options in the PAM configuration
    (cracklib, minimum/ maximum password length etc.) on all systems with 
    PAM support.

  + The set_PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK directive is obsolete and will be
    removed in the next releases of CGIpaf


* 1.2.0pre1 24 Oct 2002

  o Access Control List added ( AclOrder, AllowUsers, AllowGroups,
    DenyUsers, DenyGroups directives )


As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

regards,
