The trouble with that approach is that saslpasswd2 doesn't check the old
password before setting the new one. With the "expect" driver, that
behaviour is passed through to the user, ie. whoever gets to a logged in
Horde screen can set a new password for the logged in user without
knowing the old one. I would not be comfortable with that.
