OK.  I'll bite.  This might for for NT clients, but it won't for win9x
right.  Since we have upper cased passwords, there's no way of knowing
what the user intended the password to be (for the old and new passwords).
You could brute force the old password against the local hash in 
/etc/passwd but this seems like such a waste.
