Your log is showing that something is going wrong when chating with the 
passwd program.

1. Asking again, have you tried to use only "ldap passwd sync = yes and 
unix password sync = no"? This way the password program is not used.

2. Enable password chat debug "passwd chat debug = yes" and raise the 
log level to 100 in the related debug class, "log level = 3 smb:100". It 
will print even your passwords used in the chat.

You can raise the log level to a specific machine if you have other 
useless traffic together:

Or the error is there or you have a samba version with a broken password 
chat processing (I dont know CentOS).
