[K12OSN] smbldap - changing passwords

[Krsnendu dasa]

It should work with windows clients.
As far as linux users. search the archives. I had a suggestion for a script
that runs smbldap as sudo. It might be a good starting point for you.
The idea of a web interface to change passwords is a good idea mentioned on
the smbldap website, but it seems nothing came of it.
