RE: [cobalt-users] Using Cobalt CGI scripts without /personal

Try using the RAQ shell tools by Jeff Biliki get the from
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/users/jeffb/shell-tools
Look at the readme files for the type of raq you have.

Hope these help. they did me. If you have a raq 4 look in /etc/sbin/.cobalt
for the shell-tools do a locate adduser.

Subject: [cobalt-users] Using Cobalt CGI scripts without /personal


Hi, folks. I'm not sure if this has been asked, but the list archives
don't seem to have a search function, and I wasn't finding anything going
through by hand.

I'm running a virtual domain on a Cobalt Raq and I would like to have
password changing pages integrated into my site (i.e., not have to make my
users use the /personal GUI) After disecting the /personal GUI, (a
perverse mix of CGI, Javascript, and frames, it seems) I was able to
discern the names of the parameters passed to the Cobalt CGIs to change a
password, but I can't get it to work correctly (the password does not
change. The script does not report any error, however.)

Alternatively, I read in the KnowledgeBase that Cobalt supplies Perl
modules which can be used to interface with the password routines. This
would probably be a more eligant solution, as I could write my own CGIs
from the ground up (and I have a perversely fun time writing Perl
:) ) Does anyone know how to impliment this with the supplied modules?


Thanks a lot,
