Hi,
this below quoted method can be used to change unix password to samba password every time samba password is changed via smbpasswd -a samba_user_id command. How to accomplish the reverse ? How to change, synchronize samba password to unix password, every time unix password changes? This question is for AIX although I am assuming that the answer may be generic for all UNIX platforms.
"If you want the unix password changed every time the Samba password is changed, you must specify the following:
unix password sync = Yes
# unix utility to use
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
# chat string
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password
