Changing password via command line

[soho]

Hi all.

I want to change the password of the user (eg: web1.usuário) via command line


# passwd web1.username


and after this change, this user access your FTP and your mailbox with this new password.

You can do this? I need to execute additional command ? Writeconf?

best regards.

Any errors in your mail log?
What kind of email setup do you use? Do you use system users or virtual users (from a database)?
