Dear Jorge Videgain Marquez,

The easiest way to have users change their passwords is to:
    a)    Login to the Linux/Unix box via TELNET.
    b)    Have the user use smbpasswd to change their password.

This is the simplest method.  SWAT is usually reserved for configuring samba
and not user management.

Thanks,
James Kosin
