Thank you

With your settings for me too it works well, except the attribute   
"shadowLastChange" was not updated. This i need for my other  
applications (like squid, email, apache) for password-expire.

So i inserted unix password sync = Yes , and  now also the attribute   
"shadowLastChange" was updated, but now i get an error-message when i  
change my password under Windows xp  and in the log i see the error  
like above (although all attributes were changed rigth).

Other suggestions?
