Yes it certainly will, but, its probably a bit scary for most users. I had the same problem and ended up solving it by using poppassd_ceti and hacking up a simple webpage interface for it. > Currently using changepassword.cgi which changes the samba passwords > from a web-page.

It can but the interface is overly complex for simply changing a password and is likely to scare off most end users, hence the setup described above. Bear in mind that with LDAP if a user is able to bind to the DIT then they are able to change their own passwords with something as simple as ldapmodify from the command line, all that is stopping most users doing this is the knowledge of HOW to do it.
