Sync passwd and smbpasswd

[Rick Schieche]

I am having problems setting up the smbpasswd command to sync the /etc/passwd
and $SAMBAHOME/private/smbasswd files.  My passwd program (/usr/bin/passwd %u)
doesn't seem to want to wait around for smbpasswd to send it a second password for confirmation.

I am running Solaris 2.5.1 (103640-23) on an Ultra 2300 and using Samba 1.9.18p10 compiled with gcc 2.8.1.

I thought that I had this running previously on a lower patchlevel of Solaris, but I could be wrong...

Details follow my lame sig.  Any help is appreciated and I will summarize.
