[imp] cached session credential reload

[Hammad]

Yes, I know there is a password module for that but last time I checked we 
suppose to install popasswd or some other things for it to work. You have to 
open some ports too in firewall if I understood correctly. That was the 
security issue for me.

The way I did is just add few lines of code for password_change under 'special' 
group, link my password_change in Options and call already programmed script 
which comes with vpopmail to change the password in database. The whole things 
is about less then 20 lines of code and works great. Just had problem with the 
cached password thing. I'll download that module you mentioned and look at the 
code.

Someone mentioned in IMP list that the following line will take care of the 
cached password but its not working for me.

Auth::setAuth($email, array('password' => $newpasswd));


Thanks.

| See the passwd module code.  This code is in the CVS HEAD version, and the
| release candidates.  It is at the end of passwd/lib/Driver.php I think.
