Hello again all-knowing Monks!

I have a unix admin problem that is driving me crazy, and although it's not necessarily perl-related I thought I'd ask for help here first.

I have a request (mandatory order) to have an email sent to a customer every time a particular user id has it's password changed. I can find no way to enable syslog logging for the passwd command and I'm trying to avoid creating my own database of /etc/shadow entries across 46 different servers. All of the servers are sun boxes running solaris 8. I have access to perl on each box, in case anyone recommends any kind of scripting.

Any ideas as to how I could get this done would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
