I am using samba 2.2.2 as PDC. We have developed some software which uses Postgresql as database server. Now I want samba to look username password etc from Postgresql or I want to keep copy of username,password in Postgres. 
I tried following but does not work.
smb.conf
_____________________________________________
passwd program = /scripts/pass %u
unix password sync = Yes
passwd chat =  root*password* secret\n \
*new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *NIS* %n\n *Done*
_____________________________________________

Now /scripts/pass is
_____________________________________________
yppasswd $1 
read pass
psql -h 172.16.0.13 -U postgres sync << EOF
postgrepass
delete from users where username='$1';
insert into users values('$1','$pass');
EOF
echo Done
_____________________________________________

How should I do this ?

TIA
Shekhar
