Hi,
We are using a PDC (Primary LDAP) and BDC (Replica LDAP). Changing 
password on PDC works fine, but no way when users are logged on BDC. The 
truth is that PDC and BDC are configured with  passdb backend = 
ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/. The users get the message like "You are not 
allowed to change password"   or "You can not change password at this 
time" when they want to change their password.
Is it only possible to change password when the BDC is showing to Primary 
LDAP? As I know LDAP supports that you can change something on Replica 
which is then synchronized with the primary LDAP. I'm using only idealx 
scripts and they are not included in the BDC smb.conf, because BDC should 
do only logging for now.
Some lines from my smb.conf 
 
        workgroup = DOMAIN
        netbios name = SERVER
        server string = LDAP BDC Samba Server %v 

        os level = 65
