[Samba] last try: change NT password with samba tools?

[Shannon Johnson]

I believe it is possible. Try using winbind, and see if using the
command "passwd" will change it. I believe it will. Winbind appends the
unix local user list with the domain user list, and fools the local
machine into thinking they are local users... but I'm not sure if you
can change something on the unix machine and have it automatically
change on the Windows server.
