SUMMARY: Gui tool to change passwd.

No easy solution for me.

I will have to take a look at the CDE application Builder and create a
small Dt application and I will hook to it some free C code to change
passwd/yppasswd.

Thank's anyway. And when it's done, I will probably post it if there is
interest in it.

Here is my original question:

Some solution suggested "passwd" as the user shell. Not a good solution
for me.

Some solution suggested setting a machine with each user's sheel on that
system being passwd. (Not bad, but not good enough for me).

A solution said to use tcl/tk. I haven't look in to it, maybe !
