Recovering passwords

We're using LDAP to secure some UNIX directories.

The securing works fine. And I'm successfully creating LDAP records for new users, etc.

Problem is I would really like to provide a "Forgot your password?" link... and LDAP certainly doesn't make it very easy to recover passwords once they're set.

Has anybody done this. It'd be a "nice-to-have"... ie - I'm not going to spend a lot of calories trying to make it happen, but if someone's already done it and can give pointers I'd love to "throw it in".


Thanks in advance,
-Carl
