Updating samba passwords

The pam_smbpass PAM module can be used to sync users' Samba passwords
with their system passwords when the passwd command is used. If a user
invokes the passwd command, the password he uses to log in to the Red
Hat Linux system as well as the password he must provide to connect to a
Samba share are changed.

To enable this feature, add the following line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth
below the pam_cracklib.so invocation:

password required /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok
try_first_pass

But isn't there a way to synchronize the samba password file to the
system password file?

This will add the user you have added to the smbpasswd file.

I've done this that I can't remember how to sychronize samba password
list with the system password list.  Can somebody please jog my mellon?
