samba - Oct 2004 - change password AS_ROOT=FALSE

Using Samba 3.07 i wanna the passwd program to be run as the user.
Is this possible ?


Here's my smb.conf the general section of my smb.conf.

log level = 100
passwd program = passwd %u
passwd chat = *old*password*%o\n *new*password*%n\n *new*password*%n\n *
passwd chat debug = true
unix password sync = yes


Doing it this way forces samba to change it as root, and this is giving me 
another problem.

The old password is not available (i don't know why we even have
the %o variable there).  So root pw change sis really the
only viaable option I can think of.
