it works! thanks to the whole list and specially to the persons who gave me
tips!
in my case both, the asterisk and the quotation mark, were needed to get it
work! the dot at the end of the line isn't needed, but the blank and
carriage return must be set carefully! so, the following line works (for
suse8.0, samba2.2.4 and a shellscript that calls ldappasswd as root):

   passwd chat = "New*password:* %n\n \nRe*enter*new*password:* %n\n
\nResult:*Success*(0)\n* "


once again thank you
