[Samba] Password Syncing

Hello,

Is there a way to sync the Unix password database with Samba's
database? I know that Samba is able to update the Unix database if a
user changes their password via smbpasswd, but what if a user changes
their Unix password with passwd?

I looked into libpam-smbpass, but it didn't seem to work; the
documentation was rather sparse, so I just overwrote my
/etc/pam.d/samba with the provided "password-sync" in the samples
directory.

Additionally, I would prefer not to use unencrypted passwords.

Thanks,
Stephen Le
