I'll note that the current /stable/ release of OpenLDAP is 2.3.20.  I would 
highly advise upgrading to a supported stable release.  As for the 
"kpasswd" part, are you using OpenLDAP as the backend store for Heimdal? 
If not, what process do you have in place to push password changes from the 
Heimdal KDC into the OpenLDAP server?
