[K12OSN] Windows Users changing password or not as the case may be

[cliebow at downeast.net]

davie: in the smbldap-tools 0.8.7 howto is a scetion specifically
addressing the issue..chuck

6.8 The directive passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u %u is
not called, or i got a error message when changing the password from windows

 The directive is called if you also set unix password sync = Yes. Notes: 
if you use OpenLDAP, none of those two options are needed. You just need
ldap passwd sync = Yes.
 
the script called here must only update the userPassword attribute. This is
the reason of the -u option. Samba passwords will be updated by samba itself.
 
the passwd chat directive must match what is prompted when using the
smbldap-passwd command
