Subject: /source/kerberos/client/crp.c (or how to change a root instance)
There is a catch. /bin/passwd also changes your password in the password
file on the local machine and instructs kerberos to update the athenareg
database as well. "crp" (or chpass, that is just as good a name) makes no
attempt to fool around with either a password file or athenareg (though
it turns out you can use '-inst ""' and it will change your login password,
for those times when login uses kerberos authentication).
Clearly in the long run this will be THE password changing program (or
a variant of it). However for now we need /bin/passwd's current behavior
for compatability.
