The ldap-users-utils has a CGI app that allows the user to change his 
LDAP password -- they are just some module and webmin funcions packages 
separately so you don't need webmin itself.. This could easily be 
expanded to change other fields. With a little work I could not even 
need the duplicate code on the two packages.

I'll try samba with ldap, but patches are welcome. :-)
