Re: [SM-PLUGINS] Change_Passwd Plugin Update

This is the quote from the previous e-mail concerning the issue with the
change_passwd plugin. The plugin in question at that time was the 4.0 version.
If you need further information concerning please let me know. 

As far as the 'disclaimer' is concerned, I do not have any control over it. 
I will endeavor to remove it from e-mails that I send out the best that I can,
but if it does appear please accept my apologies in advance.

Sounds like the version of chpasswd that comes with the plugin does not touch
that field.  I will put it on the TODO list to fix that.
Thanks for your report.

I have no idea what you are referring to.  Why don't you respond to
that email thread or at least quote it?  Otherwise your message is
quite uninformative.  As far as I know, the plugin works fine,
especially the beta/unreleased version.

Also, the following text is unwelcome here.  The moment you sent your
