Solaris password change/LDAP issue

I'm having issues with password change on Solaris 10.  I'm currently
running nss_ldap from PADL and pam_ldap both.
I understand pam_ldap is needed to enable the password change.
Everything but ldap password change is going quite good.  
 However, I'm finding the password command to generate a lot of these
messages when I try to change an ldap user's password.  The messages
seem to indicate something with the native ldapclient (which is not
running).

These messages are like this: Oct  4 15:19:48 tuluelab1 passwd[5723]:
[ID 293258 user.warning] libsldap: Statu
s: 2  Mesg: Unable to load configuration '/var/ldap/ldap_client_file'
('').

I need to run the PADL modules because of uniformity of environment with
Linux and to do the LDAP password quality, I need clear text password
transmission (SSL of course) to the ldap server.  If I run native mode
client (reconfigure), I get this:
[04/Oct/2007:15:57:53 -0500] conn=7760 op=1 msgId=2 - RESULT err=19
tag=103 nentries=0 etime=0, Password already hashed. Cannot check
quality.


Just in case someone wants to see it...here's the excerpt from my
pam.conf
passwd  auth sufficient         pam_passwd_auth.so.1
passwd  auth required           pam_ldap.so.1 use_first_pass
#


Any words of wisdom or help, will be most appreciated.
