Password-changing from Windows

Is there a known problem with the password-changing interface from Windows 
to an MIT KDC, either 1.3.4 or 1.4.2?  Based on testing by one of my 
colleagues who works in the Windows environment, it seems that 
password-changing, either using the native Windows Kerberos 
password-change facilities or even the MIT-supplied KfW (2.6.5) kpasswd 
command and the Leash GUI, the following message is received on the 
Windows side:

    Server error: Failed decrypting request

The KDC logs show a successful issuing of the kadmin/changepw service 
credential, but no further action indicating a change password 
transaction.

I believe we've never been able to get native Windows password-changing to 
work against our MIT KDCs.

I wonder if this is just a configuration issue on our KDC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Mike
