One more thing before I forget, if you have a

  password sufficient pam_ldap.so ...

statement in the appropriate /etc/pam.d/... file, with the appropriate
defaults in /etc/ldap.conf, then users should be able to use the
standard unix 'passwd' command.

Warnings:

pam_ldap didn't used to set the shadow_last_changed ldap attribute.  So
expired passwords stayed expired no matter how many times they were
changed.  This was two years ago+ though, so test it and it might be fixed.

insure that if you're working from a master - slave ldap replication
environment that your slaves properly give referrals to your masters,
and that your clients follow referrals.

Luck,
