Fedora directory users - Dec 2008 - Syncing sambaLMPassword and sambaNTPassword with userPassword

Hello all,

I am trying to set up a samba share that will use a ldap read-only consumer in
such a fashion:

[windows active directory] -> [fedora-ds-MMR] -> [fedora-ds-RO] ->
[samba share]

Note the singular direction, I am trying to not send updates back upstream. I
use the PassSync to provide an updated password to the MMR, but I am at a loss
of how to update sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword, without using smbpasswd.
Is there an alternative? I''ve seen talk in the archives of people
intending to write plugins for this task, where they ever written? Am I missing
something simple?

Thanks,
Jeff Williams
