[Fedora-directory-users] Allow root to change user's passwords

[Orion Poplawski]

I'm used to being able to change user's passwords as root using the 
"passwd" command on my main server (this was with NIS and the master 
shadow file kept on the server).  Now with FDS, I get:

# passwd orion
Changing password for user orion.
Enter login(LDAP) password:

and I must enter the password for the user "orion".  This gets tricky 
when the user has forgotten their password.

Is there a way to avoid this first check and allow root to force a 
change of the password?
