centralized password control for users in a workgroup (not domain)

I'm looking for an application that will allow for easy centralized updating
of Windows XP passwords in a workgroup. We have a environment that has about
13 computers with 5 user names on each one. Instead of changing the user
name/password on each one individually, we would like to change it on one
machine and have the change replicated to the other workstations.

I realize that AD/DC would provide for this, but we do not need the added
complexity of this solution. That is if we can find an application that will
modify them remotely on each machine.

Any ideas? All time and attention provided to this question is most
appreciated.

Only thing I've ever heard of that will do this is a domain. That is one
primary reason to move from a work group to a domain.

The problem would be *which* computer would win out in a conflict. A domain
controller solves that problem.
