Actually - there is a way: 
If you are using the LDAP backend for the account management you can set
a parameter "smbPwdMustChange" that will force the user to change his
password after logon.
I don't know is there is a way to do this without LDAP since that's what
I've always been using.

Cheers,
Thomas
