Or you could simply write some wrapper for /bin/passwd that reads
your old and new passwords and then calls passwd and smbpasswd in turn.
You call it /usr/local/bin/passwd (provided that that's in the path
before wherever passwd is located) and that's it. No loops, but no
fiddling with code either (ack. as: The Unix Way :-)

Cheerio, Stefan
