project query in C++

Anyone?

First of all, on what platform? Windows? Linux? Is it a console program, or is it for a textbox on a windows form? Lastly, what language are you using?

I used to do a bit of Visual Basic, so I know that, on a windows form textbox, there should be an option to set that will automatically display any text as a single character of your choice.

I already mentioned that it's a project in C++ and on unix.

It is a console based program.

1. console character masking
2. I dont know what you mean by default arguments... but just make a random default password and give it to them.
3. For changing their password you would probably want them to enter their previous password first, or the default password you supplied them with before being able to enter the new one (which you should ask for twice for confirmation purposes...).
4. chmod or something like that ... im not too familiar with this so I might be wrong. Although they would probably only be able to change the access of users with equal or less access rights.

Under linux you normally can't assign permissions to a specific user or group that isn't the owner of the file. I *believe* SELinux (included with Fedora Core for example) allows you to do this, but I've never paid that much attention to it so you'll have to do a bit more digging yourself.
