Samba password question

Hi All!

How can I make the windows users of my network change their password on next logon? Is this enough (I found it on the Internet)?

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %nn *Retype*new*password* %nn *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

This will change the linux password won't it? Can I change the word "passwd" for "smbpasswd" to make it change only the Samba pass?

I think that these lines are only needed when u have also

unix password sync = yes

defined (to change linux pw everytime u change samba pw). Otherwise you dont need these lines but users still can change their samba passwords.
