3434.0. "Changing password w/i an application" by OTOU01::LAROCHELLE (If you can't say it in Macro... don't say it) Fri Oct 05 1990 11:48

	Hi,

	I've done a  DIREC/TITLE="PASSWORD" without finding what I
	need.  If it is a RTFM problem, please point me to the good
	manual.

	My customer is writting an application where all users are
	"captive" (no access to DECterm or DCL).  They like very
	much the window that appears with system generated passwords
	when their users' password expire.

	But now, if a user wants to change its password, is there a 
	way for their application to fire up this window ?  They
	want to avoid to have to write their own randow passwords
	generator program, that will then spawn a subprocess doing
	the $ SET PASSWORD command in a .com file generated by
	this program.

	If this feature does not exist, is there plan to implement it
	in the future ?  I'm sure that uch a feature would be appreciate
	by customers writting "captive" applications.

	Thanks
	PBL

Sys$setuai now allows password change, so you can write your own.  I 
doubt you'll see user access to the loginout version any time soon.
