  Subject: Re: Is there krb5_set password 
  in Heimdal ?
  
  I would prefer to set a password remotely as I can do with the 
  krb5_set_password functions in MIT. I want to use it in a client tool 
  from another system then the kdc itself
   
  Thanks 
  
  
  If 
    you're running the kpasswd daemon, /usr/heimdal/libexec/kpasswdd, on
the 
    KDC, the user can change his/her own passwd 
    with
'/usr/heimdal/bin/kpasswd'. 
Otherwise if you want to do the 
    work for the user, on the KDC use 
/usr/heimdal/sbin/kadmin -l cpw 
    --password=password username
