Allow users to change password when using git-shell?

Question

Is this possible, without having the users tell me their password?

Answer 1

git-shell's man page has some information on using git-shell-commands.

You can try adding a link in their git-shell-commands directory to passwd.

ln -s /path/to/passwd ~user/git-shell-commands/passwd

Then you can have them run git shell -c passwd and change their passwords themselves.
