What were you trying to do?
     run kpasswd

What's wrong:
     It doesn't work.  Well, that's not a bugs problem.  But *when* it
     doesn't work, it says

kpasswd: KADM error code 16 while attempting to change password.

     which is a little cryptic.  

What should have happened:
     Rumor (on -c help) has it there's an error table which would
     cause it to say "Communication failure with server" instead.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
     If I could find any documentation on what the error codes meant,
     I wouldn't be quite so confused when I saw them.
