IRIX password sync timeout

We had this on RH 5.1 years ago. It was even better: You turn debugg 
on on the password change worked, you turn it of and it didn't. What 
we did was edit source/smbd/chagpasswd.c (2.0.6), looked for "time 
out" (Lines 213 and 224) and increased them very much (10 times). The 
Problem went a way. We do it ever since and have no problems with it. 

BUT: I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY SECURITY CONCERNS ABOUT IT and 
where the original valuse came from.
