I presume that you are speaking of setting the sambaNTPassword and
sambaLMPassword attributes from the console application. That would be
nice. In fact, their should be a 'view/edit template' for samba
attributes similar to that for the posix stuff too.

The OP was interested in changing via samba and that was the basis of my
answer.
