Sorry, I have to take that back. This doesn't work.
Yes, it allows me to change the password, but now I can put anything in the
"Old Password" field and have it work. That's bad.

Hi Dave,
Basically, all I did was change the function unix_crypt in the file
web-lib-funcs.pl to:
# unix_crypt(password, salt)
# Performs Unix encryption on a password, using crypt() or Crypt::UnixCrypt
sub unix_crypt { local ($pass, $salt) = @_;
return "" if (!$salt); # same as real crypt
local $rv = eval "crypt(\$pass, \$salt)";
local $err = $@;
return $rv if ($rv && !$@);
eval "use Crypt::UnixCrypt";
if (!$@) {
return Crypt::UnixCrypt::crypt($pass, $salt);
}
else {
&error("Failed to encrypt password : $err");
}
}
You could do the same thing by directly editing that file in your copy of
Webmin.
