20 Password Changes The user is first prompted for their old password, if
21 one is present. This password is then tested against the stored
22 password by binding to the server. The user has only one chance to
23 enter the correct passwword. The super user is permitted to bypass this
24 step so that forgotten passwords may be changed. The user is then
25 prompted for a replacement password. As a general guideline, passwords
26 should consist of 6 to 8 characters including one or more from each of
27 following sets:
28
29 Lower case alphabetics
30
31 Upper case alphabetics
32
33 Digits 0 thru 9
34
35 Punctuation marks
