REALLY NEED SOME QUICK HELP! -PLEASE!!

[Buchan Milne]

Check your password program entry. The examples in "man smb.conf" show
either "/bin/passwd" or "/sbin/passwd %u". Also, have you looked at the
"passwd chat" option ?

Sorry I can't help you more, we don't sync unix and samba, and we only
run linux (we're poor!)
