[Web-cyradm] change password

[Jan Scholten]

Saslauthd (and some other) passwords are restricted to 8 Characters.. longer passwords will be
truncated. so check when you rename your pass to "shortpw"

Otherwise a reload of saslauthd should help, maybe pam-mysql is caching (don't know), but you should
restrict it to onetime use by adding -n0 as parameter. pam-mysql has a memory-leak when a wrong
password is entered.
