[Samba] Password syncing

[NSC - NetworkServiceCenter]

maybe your passwordchat crashes! -> try to write a little shellscript that
asks you for the password and writes this in a file. use this script as
passwordprogramm and turn on sync. if passwordchange works now and in your
file is the new pwd, you know definitively that the string you defined at
passwordchat is not the same as the expected one of your passwordprogramm.

suggestion 1:
try to get your chat and pwdprogramm work together - look out: each
character and also carriage return must be set

suggestion 2:
if your shellscript works use it ;-)
let your script call the passwordprogramm!!!
