Unfortunately, as of the time this was written FreeBSD did not support changing user passwords with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>passwd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. BecauseAs a result of this, most administrators are left to implement a solution themselves. I provide some examples here. Note that if you write your own password change script, there are some security issues you should be made aware of; see <xref linkend="security-passwd"/>
