Problems changing password in NT 4.0 passwd dialog

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

hm, looks like rpc decodes are going wrong.  can you do this please:

make clean
./configure.developer
make

then put log level = 100 and get a complete trace from open \PIPE\samr up
to close \PIPE\samr of a successful password change and a fail one.
remember that the passwords will be *in the clear* in the log files.
