Syncronising passwords is always a pain...
Thats why I ended up writing the smbpasswd driver in the first place.
Here we store userpasswords in samba only, and then via PAM_SMB have PAM
authenticating against Samba. almost anything can authenticate against
PAM, so this way users only have to chage their samba password.
(which they can do via windows also if they are logged onto the domain
using samba as PDC.)
