Subject

cannot change password from the chooser after using mkafppasswd

Info

After using the mkafppasswd utility all users do have a blank
password as the previously used Unix password cannot be
decrypted and thus all users need to set a new password. The
afppasswd program did always check the old password entered
against the one in the Unix passwd file, even if afpsrv did use
the conf/afppasswd file to authenticate. This caused users that
did exist before creating the conf/afppasswd file to be unable
to set their password in the chooser. The afppasswd program will
now always check the conf/afppasswd file if present for the old
password.
