    well, I don't know how to do it other way. thing is, every service
(smtp, ldap, etc) needs auth. we're using several programs that may
store passwords for those services (mozilla, evolution [sorry, not my
desition]) and passwds change each 30 days, so those stored passwds
become old. one solution is to not use the passwd manager, but e.g. evo
has no way to deactivate that feature. so the proposed idea was to hack
something to be able to both change the passwd in the domain (it's a NT
domain, ugh) and those stored by those apps.
