Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit.

Hello, I've been looking at Samba 3.0 with a view to an eventual upgrade to help us meet some new security requirements. I've downloaded and compiled the source on the target machine.

Hi all, I'm trying to create a domain user in USRMGR.EXE. The samba account will have its property "Password must change" set to 0. this results in the user not being able to access shares if he has been never logged in before. smbclient will return NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE after logon. in USRMGR.EXE, it is impossible to uncheck the checkbox for "password must

Greetings! I set up a PDC with samba 3.0.4 and openldap-2.2.14 and use smbldap-tools to populate ldap database. I am able to use the Microsfot's User Manager (usrmgr.exe) to add and delete users.

Hello Group, I've been reading many posts but i still don't have the answer to how to force a password change or set a password lifetime. I'm using w2k clients which connect to a samba PDC version 3.0.10 on a basic SunOS 5.8 system, no ldap or so. syncing the ux-passwords and the smb-passwords works perfect, but i can't get it working to force users to change passwords.
