C2 password remote change

Dear admins,

I am trying to simplify the user's account management (about 3500 users in
heterogenous network). One of the problems I have is to explore the
possibility of changing tru64unix C2-security password without the need of
interactive logging to the shell. My idea is not to use a web-based
application on the server side. I would like to implment this as a
standalone application (which will serve various functions for various
accounts on various machines :-) Is it possible ? I think it should be
done using prpasswd daemon but not sure how to use it, because I found no
prorammer's API reference for this.

I am able to manipulate with prpasswd entries locally, so the only thing I
need is the way to communicate with C2 database remotely without the need
of writing my own special daemon listening on a privileged port.

Thanks in advance,
