[LIP] passwd wrapper

Hi,

I have to write a passwd wrapper (my googling 
efforts have so far returned a blank), to grab 
the  user's password while he is changing it.

I'd appreciate if someone points me to the 
documents which explains how the passwd
command works, so that I can write a wrapper.
I have no access to any UNIX related book as of
now. I need to do this only for one user, `informix' 
as I have to fill in the JDBC URL with this 
password.

Okay, one option is to dig into the code of the 
passwd utility, but I have not much time at hand 
to do that.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Amar
