Ah, that makes sense.  Running the passwd command as root when using
local files will work fine, but ldap has it's own access control
system.  You could check into setting up a proxy user, but that's
getting way beyond my knowledge of ldap.  Anyone else have any 
suggestions?

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
