Chaning root password on Tiger Server

OK guys (and gals), maybe you can help me out. I’m trying to change our root password for all our critical systems, which includes our Xserve running Tiger Server. I went in using WorkGroup Manager, selected “Show System Users and Groups”, picked the root user (ID 0) and changed the password as I would for any user. I assume that this should change the password for the root user in the LDAP directory.

Then, I used Netinfo Manager to change the password for the root user in the Netinfo directory.

Authenticating as root on the Xserve now requires the new password. However, if I log into one of my linux boxes, which is set to use the Xserve’s LDAP service for authentication, I can use either the new or the old password. I changed the unix password on the linux box of course… but the old password still seems to be working. Additionally, if I log into our SVN repository, which authenticates against Xserve’s LDAP, as root, it will accept either password. Am I missing something here? Advice please.

Thanks,

A
