[Samba] Password Syncing

[Ganeshram Iyer]

Hey Stephen,
I too need this answer. As far as I could tell entering 'passwd' will 
not change samba password. I have not seen any documentation that says 
it does (at least with tdbsam and smbpasswd as the password backend).
Also I wanted to ask you where the samples directory is that you mentioned.
Thanks in advance
Ganesh
