You can use ldappasswd, binding as rootdn (or another dn that has write
access to the dn's userpassword attribute).

You have to use multiple attributes to sensibly support samba (since
samba uses encryption methods openldap does not support). The
userpassword can be used by pam_ldap (since it just binds - does the
equivalent of ldapwhoami ...). But, pam_ldap is off-topic for this list.

These documents may help you understand it more:

http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/samba-ldap-advanced.php

Of course, you will need an ACL to allow users to change the relevant
attributes.
