CGIpaf Description

cgipaf is a program that allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail Forwarding by a web interface. CGIpaf is a program that allows users to change their un*x password, autoreply and mail forwarding by a web interface. CGIpaf is a combination of three cgi programs: · passwd.cgi : allow users to update their password· viewmailcfg.cgi : allow users to view their current mail configuration.· mailcfg.cgi : update the mail configuration· All programs use PAM for user authentication, systems without PAM are only supported if they use the standard password file location (/etc/passwd /etc/shadow) and the standard crypt or md5 passwords. · If a password is changed it is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords, NIS configuration, etc. · The mail configuration is done by procmail, mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc in the user's home directory. If autoreply is enabled the autoreply message is stored in ~/vacations.txt. When a user enables mail forwarding the user can choose to keep the messages. · For user authentication viewmailcfg.cgi creates a cookie, this cookie is stored in the accessdb. mailcfg.cgi reads the cookie out the accessdb and compares it with the cookie send by the users browser. · 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 uid's that are allowed to use cgipasswd. · You can specify html files with a few PHP extensions for the login screen and error messages. · It's possible to use a redirect for the error messages, instead of plain html files. · It's is possible to define an external script to update the the mail configuration to support other mail configurations than procmail a sample script with vacation support is included. · CGIpaf also contains the "changepass" utility which is basically a clone of the chpasswd (8) Linux command, it might be useful on platforms that doesn't have such a command like Solaris. See the changepass manpage for more information.Requirements:· a Un*x server (only tested with Debian gnu/Linux woody & potato and solaris 8)· a mailserver that uses procmail (vacation is supported by an external perl mailcfg script)· a webserver · gcc, ndbm or gdbmWhat's New in This Release:· An issue with md5 passwords on big endian systems has been corrected.
