Re: [cpx] Restrict Users from changing their password

[Bruce Armstrong <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It doesn't look like you passed the information on to the real pw.  If
you are just looking to log for a while, your script should look like
this:

#!/bin/sh

echo "$@" >> /path/to/blah.txt
exec /path/to/real/pw $@
