Is that an LDAP field?  If not, how do I get to that variable?

Not sure what you mean.  Currently we have mostly linux desktops, some 
mac users and some windows users.  We use dovecot / postfix as our mail 
services (which don't have any password changing capabilities like MS 
Exchange).  I'm going to be using Likewise Open for the linux / mac 
users.  And I need to get all users onto S4 from local passwords with 
minimal disruption.

Thanks,
