I hope I am understanding your question.  You can configure the smb.conf
file so that when a user changes his Windows (Samba)  password, it changes
the other ldap password.  I don't know if it will change the password in the
/etc/passwd file.

This works when you are using OpenLDAP for authentication with a number of
LDAP aware applications such as Samba, qmail-ldap and Openfire.

You can put the following command in your smb.conf file:

ldap passwd sync = yes
