The web-nsupdate package provides a simple, web-based facility for clients to send dynamic DNS updates. Clients are typically DHCP hosts, such as a Linux system acting as a gateway for residential broadband service. The client sends a simple web request (such as with the wget(1) or lynx(1) commands) to the web-nsupdate service to register their host request.

The web-chpass utility allows users to change their account password through the web. This package was written with security as the foremost concern, flexibility next. It runs on systems that use PAM to manage user authorizations.

The web pages produced are completely customizable. The chpass.cgi utility contains no HTML. Instead, web pages are produced from an external template.

"Bad password" checking can be optionally enabled. The distributed web page template offers the user a choice, with these checks enabled by default.
