Is it possible to have a chpasswd for samba. i.e chsmbpasswd so we can change samba passwords in batch files

That script was a bit primitive, here is a smaller equivalent:
while read x; do u=${x%:*}; p=${x#*:}; echo $p$'\n'$p|smbpasswd -s -a $u; done

Hi Again,

for simplicity, is there a way of doing this inline?

Thanks

What do you mean, "inline?" You can save it as a script, say /usr/local/bin/chsmbpasswd, and make it executable with chmod +x chsmbpasswd.
