passwd sync

[Marcel Kunath]

I was just figuring that. Which brought up another question.

I use a guest user 'nobody' for some win machines to connect to a directory. If
I put this passwd sync stuff into global will people be able to change nobody's
passwd?

I have it set to NOPassword and like it to remain that way. I want anybody to
change the passwd except nobody user.
