Scratching my head over passwd->LDAP

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Howdy all,
I'm trying to migrate our RH systems from a traditional NIS backend to a
Mac Xserve running OpenDirectory and the two great sticking points that
I've encountered thus far are this:

1) I can't get passwd to correctly interact with the OD/LDAP server in
order to allow users to change their own passwords.  I suspect that
there will need to be some pam tweaking, but I've not been able to
determine the precise recipe for such as of yet.  Does anyone have a
nice step-by-step to make passwd Just Work(tm) for LDAP environments?

2) No active notification when passwords are about to expire and/or
accounts are locked.  Mac and Windows clients that bind to the OD server
get notified on screen locks and logins when their passwords are about
to expire or their accounts have been locked.  Is there any way to do
this for GDM/console users on Linux (Solaris is a bonus as well)?
