The smbk5pwd only takes effect when performing a password Extended
Operation (see the smbk5pwd/README file in the source). On the systems
where 'passwd' is not doing the correct thing, verify that your ldap pam
config is performing an ExOp, and not just overwriting userPassword.

I am performing replication without any issues with the samba/kerberos
attributes propagating.
