And some months ago, AmiTCP group started to use their own multiuser system -- the usergroup.library which is de facto a multi-user system for one user (Yes, they say multiuser lacks some things UNIX has and they need and they're waiting for multiuser 2.0 to come, but many people think usergroup is only a tool for generating problems). One of these problems which arise if you have installed both multiuser and usergroup is that each user has to specify its password *twice*. This utility is a simple combination of multiuser and usergroup passwd commands which performs all the required actions after asking the user once. Also some little improvements have been added in my password input routine: you can use backspace / delete to erase recently typed character and the typed characters are shown as asterisks. XPasswd is pure and can be made resident. Requirements ============ - Kickstart 2.04 (37.175) or higher and the ss.library version 5 or higher (included in this archive). Usage ===== Log in yourself by the Multiuser login command and run XPasswd from the CLI. You will be prompted for your old password, new password and the new password again (as one poem says: P is for passwd which reads in strings twice...). If the passwords match, both multiuser and usergroup passwords will be changed. Notes ===== Send bug reports, flames and suggestions to .
