Okay, I figured out the syntax I need.  

# (echo $password;echo $password) | smbpasswd -s $username

Now if anyone can help me with a script that would parse a file called
userpasswords in the format of username,password and do something like
for everyline in userpasswords set $username as username and $password
as password and then run the above command I would be set.
