Thanks again for your feedback about this. However, there is something
wrong and I can't get auth_passwd() to change any of the passwords
stored in the LDAP repository that is managed by authldap.

The auth_login() call works fine, and so I know that the user name and
password are correct. However, the auth_passwd() call always fails with
a -1 return code when I try to use it to change the password.

The authldap module is working fine for all my Courier authentication.

This is using the latest courier and authlib releases.

Furthermore, external LDAP maintenance tools are able to log in to the
repository and change data (including passwords) without any problem.

And finally, the LDAP_BINDDN and LDAP_BINDPW values are indeed set
properly in authldaprc.

Is there some sort of authldap configuration option that's necessary
in order for auth_passwd() to function properly? Or ... ???

Thanks yet again.
