NT password change

[Tim Winders]

Holy password changes, Batman!  I pulled down the latest CVS code
(10/12/98 6:17PM CT) and all the password change code is working.  I mean
*ALL* of it.

Under Digital Unix 4.0D, I can now change passwords from BOTH WinNT and
Win95 using the appropriate OS change password option.  I have these
options in my smb.conf file:

        encrypt passwords = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n
	unix password sync = Yes

As long as the existing passwd and smbpasswd match, both passwords gets
changed from both clients!  This is fantastic!  Great work Luke and the
whole Samba team!
