    CGIpaf 1.3.0rc2 is the second release candidate of CGIpaf 1.3.0 and is
    available at:

                 http://staf.patat.org/cgipaf/develop/

    WHAT IS NEW?

         * PAM: the pam functions should now work on Solaris 9+

    OVERVIEW

        cgipaf is a combination of three cgi programs:

             passwd.cgi: allow users to update their password
             viewmailcfg.cgi: allow users to view their current mail
                               configuration.
             mailcfg.cgi: update the mail configuration

        All programs use PAM for user authentication, systems without PAM
        are only supported if they use the standard password file location
        (/etc/passwd /etc/shadow) and the standard crypt function to encrypt
        the passwords.

        If a password is changed it is possible to run a script to update
        SAMBA passwords, NIS configuration, etc.

        The mail configuration is done by procmail by default, mailcfg.cgi
        creates a .procmailrc in the user's home directory. If autoreply is
        enabled the autoreply message is stored in ~/vacations.txt. When a
        user enables mail forwarding the user can choose to keep the messages.

        If you want to use another auto responder like vacation you can define
        an external script to update the user's mail configuration.
        See examples/ for an example config.

        For user authentication viewmailcfg.cgi creates a cookie, this cookie
        is stored in the accessdb. mailcfg.cgi reads the cookie out the
        accessdb and compares it with the cookie send by the users browser.

        User with too many invalid logins can be locked.

        The minimum and maximum uid can be set in the configuration file, so
        you can specify a range of uid's that are allowed to use cgipaf.

        You can specify html files with a few PHP extensions for the login
        screen and error messages.

        It's possible to use a redirect for the error messages, instead of
        plain html files.

    have fun,
