note 62059 added to function.posix-getpwnam

Oh I forgot the following: to change a Users password via PHP, you can use the following (under Linux with installed Samba): exec('echo -e "'.$oldpassword.'\n'.$newpassword.'\n'.$newpassword.' "|smbpasswd -U'.$user.' -s') The exec-command returns "" if an error occured (then see the error_log of the web-server) or a message "The password has been changed". Good luck.
