Don't think so.

Just a loooong shot in the dark: if you're using shadow passwords on the
unix accounts in the Samba server, and you set them to expire
priodically, then the smbpasswd file will periodically get out of synch
with the system password file. I'm not sure about this and can't check
it now, but perhaps then Samba won't be able to authenticate the user,
and so force him/her to change the password (both of them).
