samba - Feb 2015 - How do I allow users to change their own passwords on GNU/Linux?

How do I configure my GNU/Linux system to allow users to change their
own password?

When I type in the passwd command as a domain user it prompts to change
the kerberos password but doesn't allow them to change it. I get an
error that say password changes may not permitted on this account.

if your kerberos is properly configured, you should be able to change 
the password using the kpasswd command.

kpasswd works
