change password functions
LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS
krb5_error_code
krb5_change_password(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *creds,
char *newpw, int *result_code, krb5_data *result_code_string,
krb5_data *result_string)
krb5_error_code
krb5_set_password(krb5_context context, krb5_creds *creds,
char *newpw,krb5_principal targprinc, ,, int *result_code,
krb5_data *result_code_string, krb5_data *result_string)
krb5_error_code
krb5_set_password_using_ccache(krb5_context context, krb5_ccache ccache,
char *newpw, krb5_principal targprinc, int *result_code,
krb5_data *result_code_string, krb5_data *result_string)
DESCRIPTION
These functions change the password for a given principal.
krb5_set_password() and krb5_set_password_using_ccache is the newer two
of the three functions and uses a newer version of the protocol (and
falls back to the older when the newer doesn't work).
krb5_change_password() set the password newpasswd for the client princi-
pal in creds. The server principal of creds must be kadmin/changepw.
krb5_set_password() changes the password for the principal targprinc, if
targprinc is NULL the default principal in ccache is used.
Both functions returns and error in result_code and maybe an error
strings to print in result_string.
