Here follows the Linux (RedHat7.0) samba conf (/etc/samba/smb.conf) which
synchronizes SMB and UNIX passwd's for my envrionment. Windows users
can change the UNIX (and SMB) password via their security configuration
settings screen on the Windows system.
# next will allow synchronisation with the UNIX password system
# default is false
	unix password sync = True
# seems there is much trouble to get expect working
	passwd chat = *New\sUNIX\spassword:\s %n\n *password:\s %n\n *successfully\n
# next should be set to False
# see smbd log with loglevel 100 for chat/expect password logs
	passwd chat debug = False
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
# passwords should be manipulated with ldap server (to_DO)
# we should require SSL this is also a TO DO!!!!
