Try cgipaf:

I've used it at lots of places to enable folks to change their passwords
via an https site (or manage their email).  It's got some nice features,
like only working for UID's that are greater than 100 (or whatever limit
you put in), plus it only allows 5 tries in 10 minutes (also
adjustable).

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
