PDC + unix password sync

[Frederic Lejal]

Hi Alexander,

This is the opposite : when the user changes his smb password, then
the Unix password is also modified, using the application you
specified in the "passwd program" parameter.

Adding a new user seems a little bit tricky. Here is how I do it :
1. Add your Unix user ;
2. Disable the unix sync in smb,conf ;
3. Add the smb user using smbpasswd, with his current Unix password (so they  
are sync.);
4. Enable the unix sync in smb.conf ;

Then, the user can modify both unix & smb passwords by using
smbpasswd. Is there another way to do it (without disabling/enabling
unix sync in smb.conf) ?

best regards
