IIS ftp server

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We've installed/enabled IIS to get us an FTP server site on a windows
XP pro. This machine has local accounts for remote users to connect
to. Thus they can remotely "window" in, be prompted to change
their password the first time and use their local accounts to ftp
files to/from us.

What if the remote end was not using windows? If they had some type
of unix host, they could still ftp in but as we set up their local
accounts
to force changing their initial password, this would not work. Or is
there
some other mechanism we could turn to allow non-windows machines
to connect and change their initial password (something like telnet)


Does samba perhaps have such a capability? (Their unix end cannot be
the master so smbpasswd
wouldn't work unless it pointed to us to authenticate and allow
password changes)


Thanks
