Hi,

how can i allow users to change their passwords without having to  
edit the AuthUser page and setting the (:encrypt password:) markup.  
Is there a form that will allow them to perform this, similiar to  
HtpasswdForm. I tried using HtpasswdForm, but from what I understood  
this script will only work if AuthUser is set to work with apache  
authentication or am i misunderstanding something?

Thank You

Boris Schwarz
