I don't know how to get the passwords expire, but sync'ing them up isn't
difficult.  You must manually sync them the first time, if I understand
things properly... but from then out you just use proper 'passwd
program' and 'unix passowrd sync' lines and as long as all password
changes are made via SMB, it all stays sync'd up.  What it does,
essentially, is takes that password you entered for samba and runs
passwd, inputting that password for your account.

See the example I just posted for how it works for me...
