In samba 3.0.0 (if you use it) you have 'ldap password sync = yes' to
sync when SMB's passwords change.
For the reverse, I'm still trying without any results yet.
My current tries are about pam_smbpass.so module, but it seems to be
more difficult than i'd expect.
In my oppinion, when using ldap password sync, the passord program isn't
used any more.
I hope you'll have more chance than me.
