I've found that out, much to my annoyance; no rc.d startup, swat is only half useful, restart by a gui app (which resets smb.conf unless you 'chflags' the file before and after editing)... And as you say... integration with 'netinfo' for users and password details, which is a complete pig.
I believe smbpasswd does not actually do anything at *all* to the passwords. At least when I've been testing it, changing credentials with it still allows me in with my 'old' details. The only thing it seems to do is create accounts and null the password. The only thing that seems to modify the smb passwords is using Apples 'Accounts' and 'Groups' utilities. Brilliant, just what I want from a server O/S, gui-only configuration. Thanks for pointing it out anyway.

Unless it's been patched, at the very least it suffers very serious security holes, and must be upgraded (to 2.2.8a at least). Other than that, apple has played all sorts of fun & games with their 'version' of Samba (intergration with their directory backend), so it could be an issue in there.
