Hello Steve,

I am not sure if it could work with some of the available Coda pam
modules.

I'd rather recommend you to use Kerberos autentication med Coda (more
secure and I feel easier to manage) and then Kerberos pam module can do
password changes, and pam_kcoda will create coda tokens without any need
to have any "Coda password" - provided one has/knows a Kerberos one.
