Re: Default password for all users

["Michael Fuller" <fullerms@sr.railnet.gov.in>]

Hi,

I tried it, the password gets imported into the LDAP tree, but does'nt work
with qmail + Qmail LDAP patch. Same story with Squid and Sqwebmail. Is it
possible to do a "global reset" of user passwords through the command line ?

Thanks in advance for the help :-)

Regards,
Michael Fuller
