I was trying to run kpasswd for my extra instances on a linux box, and I kept
getting the following message:
	kpasswd: Unknown code krb 37 while attempting to change password.
	Password NOT changed.

this happens when i tried to use kpasswd for anything but my default instance. 
(i.e. if i tried kpasswd -n otheruser it got the same error).

This was attempted on multiple linux boxes, with different users, and all had
the same problem.  This was also attempted on sun machines with the same users
and the problem was not encountered.

thanks,
