Samba - replacing passwd command?

Hi,

Has anyone got a good way of keeping the Samba password file in sync with
the UNIX password file ? I need to get the users to run smbclient at the
same time as passwd, but of course they are not going to do this. I was thinking of
replacing the /usr/bin/passwd command with a wrapper that calls both
programs? This would work, but I think it may cause other problems if
/usr/bin/passwd isn't the real passwd program (for instance does sysman
use this command, or does it access the library functions directly?)

Any advice on how others have solved this problem, or any ideas if the
above soln would cause problem would be appreciated,

Paul
