When did that come in? I can't get passwd(1) to change an ldap password, I get:

rasputnik at eris:rasputnik$ passwd
passwd: Sorry, `passwd' can only change passwords for local or NIS users.
rasputnik at eris:rasputnik$ uname -a
FreeBSD eris 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #4: Mon Oct 25 18:03:11 BST 2004     root at eris:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ERIS  i386
rasputnik at eris:rasputnik$ 

 - this is an nss_ldap nsswitched account, logged in over ssh (pam_ldap auth).
