I suppose you could try to enable the audit log - see what attribute it 
is modifying, and what value.  nss_ldap/pam_ldap (e.g. the interface 
that the passwd command uses) can be configured to store a pre-hashed 
password which will not work with winsync.  You must have the clear text 
password in order to sync it to AD.
