If you change your *nix passwd, smbpasswd is not kept in synch. The two are independently maintained after their initial creation. I understand that winbind is supposed to keep you from needing a smbpasswd file, but I haven't tried it yet. It is in the latest samba release, but I am still running the release before that.
