You shouldn't need to reboot. When you say it doesn't work, do you mean
it doesn't allow you to set a weak password? It doesn't allow you to
login? It doesn't allow you to set any new password?

this sounds as though you have something screwy at a deeper level as
well. Did you use the authconfig program to setup your connection to
the OSX ldap server or soemthing different? Is pam_ldap one of the
modules being stacked in /etc/pam.d/system-auth? It sounds as though
the update is updating /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow on the K12ltsp server
instead of in the OSX server. So the K12 server is reading
from /etc/passwd ad from the ldap server but it is writing only
to /etc/passwd.
When you use the passwd command does it prompt you with:
Enter login(LDAP) password:
or does it just print
New UNIX password:
