[imp] poppasswd.php3

[James Tavares]

Very true.

I just like to keep packages seperate. :) I'd rather maintain two seperate
"public" packages on my servers than maintain custom source code on one
between revisions. But, from an operating perspective the php ldap_* calls
are much cleaner.


Thanks,
James

Hello,

if you have ldap you don't need poppasswd!

I wouldn't advise it (as I don't advise poppasswd...) but you can
use ldap_*() functions in php and bind to the ldap server and change the
passwords ;)

nuno
