Thanks, but it doesn't work. With stock OD, i have to make the choice 
between "crypt" passwords which are stored in the LDAP part and "open 
directory" passwords. I need both, the former to replicate to our linux 
servers, the latter for samba/afp on the os X server locally. Guess I'll 
write my own tool since "passwd" isn't that userfriendly anyway ;)

Anyway, thanks for your time and effort.

cheers
