samba - Mar 2003 - Change somebody else's domain password?

Hi,

 I am trying to find a way to change NT4 domain password from linux.
smbpasswd works fine if you know user's old password but I am looking for a
way to connect to PDC using all-mighty Administrator credentials and change
other user's password.
 I have searched all over the web in vain. Have anybody done that? How?
Maybe using tools other than Samba? 

 Thanks a lot,

Sergei

Log in as root.

Login as root and do what? Root can change local smbpasswd file but if I
use smbpasswd to change password on a remote machine (PDC) I need to supply
username and old password, it does not matter whether I am root or not on a
local machine

Can you log in to that remote machine as yourself or some other user, 
and then su to root?
