[Samba] Sync Unix passwords when not PDC

[joshuajunk at cybertrails.com]

I need to be able to allow login's via telnet to the same server that samba 
is installed. I would like the users to be able to use their Domain 
passwords for the telnet session. As I stated in the Subject, I need to 
sync the Unix passwords with the domain passwords.

Thanks again in Advance
Joshua
