Go back to basics?

From the GUI


System Settings....

User Accounts

Select the account interested and change the password in the Login Options section


From the command line


normal user changing his/her password -> passwd

to change root password -> sudo passwd

to change other users passwords -> sudo passwd USERNAME

Is there a way to let user to change password for their own account? Currently if I enable the permission Settings > Users > Edit will allow them to modify other's as well.

On linux you have to install the heimdal-clients package.

Code: [Select]
kinit user@ZENTYAL-DOMAIN.LAN
kpasswd

It's a good first step  :)
