Re: remote passwd change

["Gabriel Orozco" <gabriel_orozco () mx sumida com>]

There are several web tools that can do the job

visit www.freshmeat.net
and look for "password change" (without quotes) in their search bar.

then, choose the ones you like the better, and try/test them.

of course it's way better to have this in a SSL protected page.
