samba - Dec 2005 - samba and kerberos doubt

in our lab we have a kerberos + ldap server to authenticate the  gnu/linux users
and we have configured samba to work as a PDC  authenticating the windows users.
  samba stores the password in encrypted format in  /etc/samba/smbpasswd.  The
problem is when the password is changed  by windows users we need to change the
password of kerberos  credentials. Is there a way in samba in to do that i.e to
synchronise  the password change in kerberos and samba. We are using samba 3.0.5
in  debian sarge system.

Yes, but it's not straightforward. You can use openldap as a backend for
heimdal kerberos and use the smbk5pwd overlay to syncronize.
