Hi all,

How a non-root user can change his password some what like this: <commandToChangePassword> -oldpassword old -newpassword new.

"usermod" command will get password as argument. But this can only used by the root. I want to know is similar command avialable for normal-users? Any one plz help me.....

Thanks in advance.
