We are on Baan IVc4 on unix. We migrate our users from using ASCII to the GUI. In our unix login script in ASCII we have a menu option in which users can change their password.

In the GUI the only way let a user change his/er own password is by "start programmes" ksh & external program; start a shell and use the unix password command.

The thing is, we dont want our users to be able to start a shell.

Does anyone see any other options of letting users change their own password; preferbly within baan

Add an entry to a menu

type: shell script
sess: passwd
Label: Change Password

We are using HP-UX. To make it run we add an entry like this:

Menu Field Type:Shell program
Ses/Men/Pr/Quer: whoami
Prcess Info: |xargs passwd
