If that so then your system is broken.
On a Debian-Edu node passwd should change the password stored in LDAP, all
users (but root) from all machines (including Windows) logins are
authenticated against the LDAP entries.
Both Samba and login (for Linux/kdm/ldm) are looking up the data stored in
LDAP.

This is not normal behavior.
Try using the keys icon from the desktop if it is missing from your desktop
try:
https://www/lwat/chguserpw.php
This should work also from Windows.
Best luck, Odd.
