Yes, The password changing process under any GNU/Linux machine works 
perfectly, but not under W2k clients. To my surprise, i can change 
password of the user when logged on the AD DC (via the same 
Ctrl+Alt+suppr process).

Using Ethereal, i've seen no differences between communication to the 
KDC between client resulting to failure and DC suceeding.

Do you have an idea from where this problem can come ? On a previous 
installation of the trust (without AFS), there was no problem changing 
the password.

I've loked for any key with "hardware authentication" activated and have 
seen none...

Best regards,
