Error when changing kerberos password

[Marcelo Magno T. Sales]

Hi,

I have setup my FC6 box so that users can authenticate against Active 
Directory using kerberos. This is working ok.
The first time I tried to change my AD account's password, it worked fine, but 
from the second time on I get the following error:

[marcelo.sales@sf002698 ~]$ passwd
Changing password for user marcelo.sales.
Kerberos 5 Password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
Auth error: Authentication error ()
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

This was right after I had successfully changed the password and no system 
configuration was modified between the two attempts. What may be causing this 
error?

Thanks,

Marcelo

Never mind. I've just found out that there's a security policy in our Active 
Directory domain that prohibits users to change their passwords with less 
than two days interval between the changes.
