[Samba] smb/unix password sync

[Paul Miller]

Yes, yes.  I have that working, but I want to sync the other way: using
passwd to sync smbpasswd.  I read somewhere that you can do this with
pam "stacking" or something, but I have no idea how to do this.  I know
Samba is compiled with pam support and I have the pam/smb module installed
(Debian 2.2.3-1 package).  Does anyone have experience with pam that can
help?

Thanks
