huh - swat?
i think swat is for configuring smb.conf, etc from a web broswer.
You can change the unix and samba passwords from swat but i don't know
of any way to change a remote windows password with swat (unless winbind
is in play)

this is what i'm looking for - i expected the remote password changing
tools to part of smbclient but i guess it is just as logical for it to
be a part of smbpasswd.

smbpasswd -r may work for me...
