tavis,

being honest: i have no idea.  someone (please check the archives) said,
"i've written this program that does both unix and samba passwords" i
said, "great, send me a copy i'll put in the contributed directory".

so you might be missing something: please let me know, however, one way or
the other!

thanks,

luke
