User passwords hosted on a server running CPanel are kept in the
/etc/domainname directory under their home folder.  For example:
/home/user49/etc/mydomain.com/shadow
The shadow file looks like this:
johndoe:2x6KYbPf49Ft6:::::::
janedoe:a1nP4hHTftUeU:::::::

CPanel has a default install of Horde, but users cannot change their
password within.  They log into domain.com/webmail using their e-mail
address and password, then are given an option to change their password
before entering either Horde or SquirrelMail.  The change password link
directs them to a file called webmailpasswd.cgi where they can type and
confirm a new password.

I have my own Horde installed as I don't want users to have an option of
mail clients.  They login directly to hore, so don't see the option to
change password, hence the need for Passwd to function.

The link below is the only thing I can find on the subject, but received no
response from the author, and the solution doesn't work.

If required, I can create an account on my CPanel server so you can see how
it functions.  

Thank you.
