[Bug 242325] [NEW] Samba with "ldap passwd sync = only" fails to change passwords

[Laurent Pinchart]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04
Release:        8.04

samba:
  Installed: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.2
  Candidate: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.2

Samba configured with an ldap backend and 'ldap passwd sync' set to
'only' silently fails to change user passwords.

When a samba client requests a password change, samba returns a success
return code but doesn't try to change the password. The bug has been
reported to the Samba team
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4901) and fixed upstream
(http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commit;h=1dd8fa9a521046f1de8173ac00224706c5249665).

Can the patch be backported to Ubuntu Hardy ?
