I check the security file at the start of my application. If necessary I
run the modification script (copies USERS table to USERS2, drops USERS
and creates view USERS, etc.).
automatically from my program. Users don't even have to know that
something happened.

I don't edit users passwords. SYSDBA can manage users without problems,
but normaly users are not allowed to change their own login passwords.
