I would consider that a bug. Now I wonder if 2.0.6 / Frontport could be
vulnerable to that.

The smbpasswd file is needed to contain the encrytped NT and Lanman
passwords.
I do not know about the 2.2.7, but in the previous versions, the
usernames must also exist in the SYSUAF. In any case there must be a
way to map the username from the SAMBA client to a host account.
It may be possible to modify the OpenVMS version of the SMBPASSWD
program to update the OpenVMS password at the same time.
With 7.3-1, the ACME routines are now documented, and that may also
allow better integration. I have not looked at them closely, but they
may allow calling the smbpasswd routines to update the smbpasswd when
the user updates their OpenVMS password.
