Was it a stupid question or didn't I confirm to some protocol. Or more
unlikely doesn't anybody know an answer or worse: does it work as designed?

Let me ask another question: why would anybody use smbpasswd if samba
uses passwd?

Open Source is an ode to common sense

(bump for whose who google first)

try to disable "migrate" in /etc/pam.d/common-auth

Code:

# and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block)
#auth   optional                        pam_smbpass.so migrate
auth   optional                        pam_smbpass.so

migrate Only meaningful in an “auth” context; used to update smbpasswd file with a password used for successful authentication.
