help! changing domain passwords on xp

[Mike]

In our environment, we have a lot of kiosk style/public
PCs that are logged in as a unique, but generic, account
(usually corresponding to the local PC # assigned to it).

But users also have their own private individual domain
accounts, and we want to let them change their accounts -
from these machines. Problem is, when you CTRL-ALT-
DEL/Change Password... from one of these, even if you have
the correct current password, you cannot change someone
else's password (ie. other than who's currently logged in).

So I'm logged in as User1, and I go Change Password...
change the user to User2, enter the correct currenet
password, and enter twice the new desired password - it
errors out and says "not allowed".

This is overridden if you are a Domain User of course, but
for obvious reasons I'm not going to do that.

Anyone know how I could set this up to work?

Thanks,

Mike
