you can use the "unix password sync = yes" in the smb.conf file
I quote from orielly's using samba ( free and excelent book b.t.w )
"With this option enabled, Samba will attempt to change the user's regular
password (as root) when the encrypted version is changed with smbpasswd.
However, there are two other options that have to be set correctly in order
for this to work.
The easier of the two is passwd program. This option simply specifies the
Unix command used to change a user's standard system password. It is set to
/bin/passwd %u by default. With some Unix systems, this is sufficient and
you do not need to change anything. Others, such as Red Hat Linux, use
/usr/bin/passwd instead. In addition, you may want to change this to another
program or script at some point in the future. For example, let's assume
that you want to use a script called changepass to change a user's password.
Recall that you can use the variable %u to represent the current Unix
username. So the example becomes:
[global]
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = changepass %u
Note that this program will be called as the root user when the unix
password sync option is set to yes. This is because Samba does not
necessarily have the plaintext old password of the user. "

Subject: passwd and smbpasswd
Does anyone know of a script or program
that you can change one passwd and have it update
both the passwd file for Unix and smbpasswd?
How about a webbased and command line.
