Sheesh, I've been walking on water for weeks then without even knowing
it. Getting a web page where users can change their LDAP password is
not that difficult really. Apache, mod_ssl, mod_ldap, perl.
When you say you got it working, do you mean you've got Samba to be a PDC?
If so where does it keep the passwords (/etc/shadow?) and does it just
use the pam stack modules as defined in what /etc/pam.d/samba? If so then
I think we can make it use LDAP.
