[webmin-l] Re: Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

[Rob T. <wel...@gm...>]

Hi Jamie,
That line was already set to 0 so thats no it. Here is my
/etc/usermin/changepass/config file ....

cmd_mode=3D0
passwd_new=3D0
post_command=3D
passwd_same=3D0
mysql=3D0
passwd_prog=3D
passwd_cmd=3D
passwd_dict=3D0
smbpasswd=3Dsmbpasswd
passwd_min=3D0
passwd_re=3D

Oh and I'm using WBEL3.0 if thats any help.
Cheers
Rob
