What do ldappasswd(1) and/or ldapmodify(1) say when changing the  
directory user's password when run as the user (instead of you or the  
Directory Manager)?

Note: If the users are using some other software, you might have a  
problem with that software.  But before raising an issue (on a list  
about the other software, not here) you should make sure things work  
using only OpenLDAP Software.  So, even if your users aren't using  
these tools, you should test with them (as a user) before doing  
anything else.
