Hi Adam / Mario,

Thank you for the hints.

The LDAP config was correct

access to 
attrs=userPassword,sambaLMPassword,sambaNTPassword,deliveryMode,mailRe
plyText
        by dnattr=administrator write
        by self write
        by anonymous auth
        by * none

access to *
        by * read

Adam pointed me into the right direction I had 2x passwd program & 
passwd chat in my config.
Kind'a unbelievable that I didn't see that... :-s

I left the smbldap-passwd lines but took out the 'default' and again 
MAGIC... all working :-)
(The default were below the LDAP lines so they 'overruled' what was 
defined first.)


Thanks for the help!

Peter
