Hello again,

got a bit of more information about the passwd issue. got send this bit 
of error log via logdigest today:

Nov 30 09:45:04 cx20 HORDE[28207]: [passwd] Could not instantiate PDO. 
PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 
'dbuser'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: YES) [pid 28207 on line 129 of 
"/srv/ssl/webmail/httpdocs/passwd/lib/Factory/Driver.php"]

then double checked the username & password and it was perfectly ok.

so just for testing I filled in the root password of the mysql server 
and all went fine. password successfully changed ;)

switching back to the other user / pass the problem came back.

the user causing the access denied was created with phpmyadmin and setup 
to grant all rights on this database only!

I know that this is working fine as I'm using this user with dbmail and 
it can create users, change passwords, etc, etc ...

But it's just not working with passwd.

I would really like NOT to have the root user in the backends.local.php

Any more suggestions on how to proceed would be great ;)

Thanks & greetings
becki
