You could use a script like smbldap-passwd. It does a fine job of
managing openldap passwords.

..it assumes samba, but wouldn't take much to hack the script.

I wanted them to be able to log into any of the boxes, run the create

password commands, and then copy the encrypted output and send to the
administrator so he can change their passwords on Openldap without
knowing
what their password actually is.
Is there a way that you know of that they can copy and past in their own
encrypted password, bypassing having to send them to the
administrator to do
it?
Why can't you just properly configure nss_ldap so that the passwd
command does the right thing?
Failing that, write a quick Perl script that mimics passwd. Involving
the administrator at all seems unnecessary here.
