I am unclear how you are doing authentication by Windows users to the
network in a normal login...via AD?

anyway, my inclination is to setup Fedora-DS to use samba schema

http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba

as that would give you a sambaNTPassword attribute which is normally the
hashed password as expected but how that relates to question
#2...updating the hash when the user changes their password...I suppose
that would depend upon the chain of events that occur where/when the
user changes their password...how is this information going to be sent
to fedora-ds?
