I thought maybe it has something to do with "passwd sync program", as 
thee output it gives is different as in examples hanging around (in 
examples it is like below:

passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n 
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*

In my case (I use smbldap-tools 0.85) it's like that:

# /usr/local/sbin/smbpasswd
Changing password for bella
New password :
Retype new password :
#

So I changed this line to:

passwd chat = *Changing*password*for*'%u'*\n *New*password* %n\n 
*Retype*new*password* %n\n*

And now it says I don't have necessary permissions to change the password.

Any clue?

possibilities too):
