[Samba] How does a user change his password?

Well, actually, I haven't tried anything, since I have no idea what to try.  
On our Novell system, when the password expires, a window pops up asking the 
user to change the password.  The user can also go into the Novell client and 
change his password.  I can't find anything like that.  Yes, I have looked 
through the docs, I've spent hours Googling the issue to no avail.

Let me make it simple for someone to answer.  When a normal non-computer 
literate user calls and asks how he changes his password, what would you tell 
him?  Please keep in mind that answers like RTFM are not good for job 
security.

Thanks,
Michael
