#1865 Change Password
Sorry if I post this in the wrong spot. Hi once again.
System: Redhat 9
Webmin Version: 1.170
Usermin Version: 1.100
Virtualmin Version: 2.33
Adding a new user using Virtualmin. Then that user logs
into Usermin and goes to change there password and the
Change Password feature has MYSQL change password
feature enabled it doesn't allow you to change it.
Keeps saying the user does have the correct rights.
I was thinking that if the SQL change password was a
seperate table and virtualmin created the user with the
rights to change there own password it would work
better. But that feature only allows the user to change
there password and noone elses. Just a thought. By the
way Happy Holidays.

If this user is a server owner, it is better for them to use
the Change Password feature of Webmin instead, and for the
MySQL module to be configured to keep passwords in sync.
If you use Usermin, the mysql user has to be given
privileges to change his own password, which is not always
the case ..

Okay this is the problem that i am incountering
The User is not a server owner.
logged into webmin selected
usermin configuration --> Usermin Module Configuration -->
Change Password
and selected
Change with Use PAM or passwd command
Run command as root (and append username)
Also change samba password with command Don't change
Also change MySQL password? Yes
Command to run after changing password
Minimum password length 4
Prevent dictionary word passwords? No
Perl regexp to check password against None
Prevent passwords containing username? No
Password must be different from old? Yes
but still no joy.. I do not think it actually changes the
MYSQL password. therfor i think it doesn't work.

Does it actually display any error message about a failure
to change the password, and if so what is it?
One way you can get a better idea of the cause of the error
is to login to MySQL as the user from the command line, and
try running :
set password = password('thenewpassword')
