You are correct. There is no credible evidence within the links of this post that suggest Obama used the last name “Soetoro” on a passport.
I am becoming suspicious that these sort of posts are created by people supporting Obama and wish to discredit those that truly want an answer to his eligibility.

“There is no credible evidence within the links of this post that suggest Obama used the last name “Soetoro” on a passport.”
“…those that truly want an answer to his eligibility.”
The first sentence may be true; however, it seems unwise in this case to reject out of hand a possibility merely because it has no “credible” basis.
Seemingly, the only relevant fact we are allowed to know is that O has made a substantial effort to seal, or otherwise avoid disclosing relevant documents.
When it is obvious that factual evidence has been intentionally and skillfully (?) removed from the public realm - almost certainly with the intent to deceive - it becomes necessary to speculate, to brainstorm, to reach out and thoroughly examine any information that could lead to a fact or a part of the answer.
Our inquiry should not be limited to a cold calculation of hard facts, such facts are not yet available.
What are “those” referred to in the second sentence to do in order to obtain an answer?
On January 8, 2009 not single politician, Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, honored his or her oath of office to defend the constitution.
The highest court in the land has turned a deaf ear. Arguably, subject to what is happening in the lower courts, we are left to our own devices.
“I am becoming suspicious that these sort of posts are created by people supporting Obama and wish to discredit those that truly want an answer to his eligibility.”
An astute observation but probably more likely it’s misguided people with a desire to create a tempest in a teapot. If it could be definitively proven that this nonsense is being seeded by 0 supporters (especially organized), the backlash against 0 would be significant!
