[Samba] Update LDAP password

[Michael George]

from my limited experience, it sounds like windows tools are best for 
managing the windows-side of Samba PDCs.

For the posix, courier-imap, postfix side of things, phpldapadmin will 
work fine for you, *except for updating passwords*.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong....
