[Samba] Users changing samba passwords directly from windows client

[Mark Belfanti]

you need to set the password chat option in the global section. This is
what I use and it works well. Users just hit cntl-alt-del to change
password or use the previously mentioned applet in win98

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
