[Samba] smb/unix password sync

[Terry Davis]

wouldn't a shell script work here?  Write a script that takes arguments 
and pass them to smbpasswd and passwd individually.

#!/bin/bash
# $1 = username
# $2 = passwd

echo "$2" | passwd --stdin $1
smbpasswd $1 "$2"

then call it with    script.sh username "password"

or you can feed the password on stdin.  I don't know of the security 
concerns here so someone speak up.
