	LDAP is not an option?

	You can use 'unix passwd sync' and ask them to
use smbpasswd to change their password, it will do the
trick in the other way. Or you can do some "ninja magic"
to make the expiration date changes from time to time
(but it is not a real solution).

	Try the other way around, using smbpasswd to
change the samba password and get it in sync with unix
password.

	Yes. :)

	Did you read the PAM chapter in the Samba Official HOWTO?

	I hope this helps, I'm not using pam... I'm using LDAP.
