My tipp, a password sync application, what first checks the username, and if
the user isn't allowed to change, simly exit, otherwise run unix passwd
command......

smb.conf:
passwd program = /sbin/mypasswd %u

--------------/sbin/mypasswd----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# user guest may not change his password
#
if test "$1" == "guest"; then exit fi
passwd $1
-----------------------------------------------------------
