NT user is for Windows synchronization (AD sync) - this is different 
than samba support.  We are investigating adding support for samba to 
the console for a future release.

This is probably a bug in the server.  I can't remember if the IETF 
password modify draft says that the original password can be omitted 
(the server has it anyway, from the BIND operation), but other password 
modify extop clients expect to be able to only pass in the new password.
