http://de.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/html/smb.conf.5.html#LDAPPASSWDSYNC 
states that this option applies only to user accounts. The reason I 
asked on the mailing list was that I had no clear yes or no on this issue.
I checked my ldap replication logs about changes to the userPassword 
attribute. There was none. Therefore I come to the conclusion that Samba 
3.0.0beta3 is not making changes to it.

Thanks for the help
