Well if you compile Samba with -DALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD
and set up the parameters :

       passwd program - program to call to change unix password

       passwd chat - expect/send style script to drive the above

       unix password sync = true

Then smbd *will* change your UNIX password as well as
the smb password. The tricky part is setting up the
passwd chat script correctly for your system.

Hope this helps,
