Hi Ashish,
Yes you can definitely achieve this
using the pAM APIS.
You can use pam_start() and pam_authenticate()
for instance.
Please refer to this link. Let me know
if this is of any help.

c code to change current user password
using PAM API |
|
Hi,
I want to write c code to change current user password.
The code first check for current password & then set new password.
The code must use PAM API just like passwd utility.
Also code must work without user intervention ie only by argument current
password & new password are given.
So, can any one know that already this work is done or i can
use passwd utility in my c code using system command.
Thanks.
Ashish Yadav
