Passwd provides fairly complete support for changing passwords via Poppassd,
LDAP, Unix expect scripts, the Unix smbpasswd command for SMB/CIFS passwords,
Kolab, ADSI, Pine, Serv-U FTP, VMailMgr, vpopmail, and SQL passwords.

     * Fixed a bug in the procopen driver

The major changes compared to Passwd H3 (3.0) versions are:
     * Added an HTTP web form driver
     * Added expect support for sudo and for the PECL expect extension

       to another
