Is there any way to do this without having users prompted four times for 
their password (twice by Unix and twice by smbpasswd)?

Wasn't there a "unix password sync" option?  I can't find it in my 
documentation.  It would certainly be great if someone could write a 
passwd program that updated both password files.
