i tried it and it doesn't seem to work.
I have redhat 6.2
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
i tried the /usr/bin/passwd with %u and without it
and it didn't change the unix passwd.
anything else i need to do.
how about the script maybe?
