I was able to get the smbpasswd command to sync with the samba password
with the unix password by using the smb.conf parameters:
unix password sync = True
passwd program = /bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New* %n\n *Retype* %n\n
password level = 8
Paul sent me an expect script to replace the unix passwd command which will
sync the unix password with the samba password.
