I had the same scenario.

Remember that the encrypted passwords are not synchronized with
Windows.

When you change your password on your F11, it is stored encrypted. Then
MMR transmits "userPassword 'encrypted on your F12. Therefore, the
password does not synchronize with Windows, since as already mentioned,
is encrypted.

In my case, I decided to change to a Master / Slave scenario. Thus, your
F11 will be to read only and such changes will be forwarded to your F12
(this includes passwd) which will be written.

But I have set
pam_password clear
in /etc/ldap.conf on both fedora machines.
I rely on ssl for security.
I had to do this in order to get password syncing with windows to work at all.
Shouldn't that take care of the problem you describe above?
