[Python-Dev] changing password at SF?

Didn't see this in the Python-SF-FAQ and SF's docs are pretty mum on the
subject...  How do I change the password I use when ssh-ing into SF
machines?  I used the [change password] form from my SF web page, but when I
ssh in to the compile farm it still wants my old password.  Running the
passwd command after logging into a compile farm machine results in
"authentication failure" using both my old and new passwords.  Is there
perhaps some other machine I should login to?

(For those of you not involved with the python.org website, this has
immediate practical implications, because it appears one of the python.org
machines was broken into.)

Thx,
