hi !
i am successfully using the patch to the pam_ldap module provided
athttp://www.rit.bme.hu/~balsa/pam_ldap_ntlm/
to keep the smbpasswd and the unixpassword (bot stored in the ldap-tree)
in sync.
you then just have to add a line like "samba_ntlm_sync true" to your
/etc/pam_ldap.conf
i think the patch is for pam_ldap-137 but it worked (for me) on
pam_ldap-140 too.
