ipa-passwd talks XML-RPC. kpasswd talks to the KDC directly. They are 
probably interchangable.

ipa-passwd should let you change your own password. Can you file a bug 
on this? We did a bunch of ACL changes after the initial development and 
it looks like the screws were turned a little too tight.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-0.6.0-2

Always?
