I do not believe this is currently possible. Unix passwords are one type
of one-way hash, and Samba passwords are another. It might be possible
someday when Debian supports PAM.
I guess a workaround would be a front-end passwd program that changes both
passwords. I don't know if one exists.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
