When a windows user changes his password, the samba server only gets
the new password, not the old one. So you need a mechanism that is able
to change user's password without having the old one.
NIS is only able to do this on the NIS master, not on a slave server or
even a client: even root will be asked for the old password there.
So if you absolutely want this, you'll have to invent some mechanism
that transports the new password to the NIS master (securely please).
