But this does not make any sense, if i have a win95 workstation and i have
a samba PDC then all the user accounts are in the smbpasswd file, why then
would it then change the unix(linux) password without changing the
smbpasswd file. Would that not cause quite a bit of confusion not to
mention the hassle of having to change the password twice?
