[Samba] Automatically running a script on Samba PDC when Windows user changes his password

[mups.cp]

You could create a bash/perl script and put your logic inside this
file. Change the 'passwd program' to refer to this script.
I've tried one time define the bash code on a long line but due to
errors I prefer put the code in a file.
