Ppolicy:pwdMustChange TRUE does not force User to change his Password

Hi anybody!

i use ppolicy overlay to enforce password policy to my ldap user
objects. i also use pam_ldap and libnss-ldap on client side so the linux
client can authenticate and also work with the password-policy thingies
like expiration and stuff. it works well with one exception:

It seems that some component on the Client side does not work well on
that "User Must Change Password after administrative Password Reset"
Topic. In Fact, that User is still able to login (as usual) and IS NOT
FORCED to change his Password the moment he logs in. In another Case,
say if the users password expires the common way that User IS BEING
FORCED to change his PW the moment he logs in. But it wont do that way
if his PW is just "Reset by Admin".

My slap.conf contains pwdMustChange:true
my Users LDAP Account contains the "pwdReset TRUE" attribute too

If the User now logs on, he will get ONE ADDITIONAL LINE OF TEXT saying
„Change After Reset“ to his console. Anything else is just as usual. No
enforcing at all.

So why that ?! Shouldnt there be a Promt requesting the User to enter
his new password ?!?

I searched tons of Docs and Manuals and squeezed Google for days. No
luck yet.. Would you Help?

see config files down that mail.

regards
Axel
