    The pam_smbpass PAM module can be used to sync users' Samba passwords
    with their system passwords when the passwd command is used. If a user
    invokes the passwd command, the password he uses to log in to the Red
    Hat Linux system as well as the password he must provide to connect to a
    Samba share are changed.

    To enable this feature, add the following line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth
    below the pam_cracklib.so invocation:

    password required /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok
    try_first_pass

    But isn't there a way to synchronize the samba password file to the
    system password file?

    smbpasswd -A username

    This will add the user you have added to the smbpasswd file.

    I've done this that I can't remember how to sychronize samba password
    list with the system password list. Can somebody please jog my mellon?
