Hi,

I'm trying develop a program that read the answers of interactives
programs like su and passwd.On the fact i need change the password
(/etc/shadow) of some users from web(CGI/PERL).

How i do this? I see a example of this but the script use a library
called chat2.pl. I think that this library is discontinued on perl
5.8.

Anyone have the solution?

Tranks for all

Really old and probably still a bad idea:

http://backpan.cpan.org/authors/id/...bPass.expect-Sx
http://backpan.cpan.org/authors/id/...WebPass.perl-Sx

These are both indicated in the W3 Security FAQ here:
http://www.w3.org/Security/Faq/wwwsf5.html#CON-Q7

(But I haven't worked for FCCJ in almost two years =/ so that URL
listed is REALLY out-dated.)
