Just to add my 2 cents... this does NOT work, this is why the original poster
asked for help. Password sync is broken under FreeBSD with samba-2.x, and
this is not a configuration issue.
I ran into the same issue a month ago and add to use samba-3.

I haven't tried yet. I'm a cautious upgrader.

I'd be embarrassed to show this hack to the public. You could write
your own in the time it would take to adapt mine for another
enivironment.
I basically used Expect to call smbpasswd for the user. I also have
unix password sync on to change the unix password at the same time.
You can use SWAT, and there are other public interfaces available,
trust me, you don't need mine. I'll be glad to help out in any way if
you want to work on your own. It's only about 50 lines of code.

Sorry, I've just entered this mailing list and haven't read the other
mails in this thread, but it should not be a problem at all to get this
password sync to work. We use LDAP, so our config wouldn't help you, but
a quick google-search leads to this example:
FreeBSD 4 passwd chat for smb.conf:
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new**password* %n\n
*password*has*been*changed*
This has to be a single line of course. Put it into the [global] section
of your smb.conf, together with a "unix password sync = yes". Please
read the smb.conf man page, it's all there.
And please, don't let me see statements like "don't run Samba 2.x on
FreeBSD" again, because I've been doing this for many years. Thank you... ;)

moral of the story is don't run Samba 2.x on FreeBSD if you want your
interface for them to do so, but it doesn't sell the 'free' solution to
management if you have to use non-standard administration tools and
spend a lot of time creating them, at that.

and there's a bug from June in the ports database regarding this issue.
Running 4.8 and samba 2.2.8a.
I receive the following error when trying to change a samba password
from a windows client: "The system cannot change your password now
because the domain is not available".
Samba logs indicate:
[2003/10/07 11:00:09, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(92)
netbios connect: name1=CPUXSV01 name2=IPAQDK

Any help would be appreciated,
