+ <para>This boolean parameter controls whether Samba
+ attempts to synchronize the UNIX password with the SMB password
+ when the encrypted SMB password in the smbpasswd file is changed.
+ If this is set to <constant>yes</constant> the program specified in the <parameter moreinfo="none">passwd
+ program</parameter> parameter is called <emphasis>AS ROOT</emphasis> -
+ to allow the new UNIX password to be set without access to the
+ old UNIX password (as the SMB password change code has no
+ access to the old password cleartext, only the new).</para>
