samba - Oct 2001 - password expire in samba PDC

i tried in the smb.conf
[global]
unyx password sinc = yes
pam password change = yes
obey pam restrictions = yes

and have compiled samba with pam support (im using redhat 7.2 and samba 2.2.2
rpm version from ftp.samba.org for redhat)
if i logon in my linux box (telnet or ssh) with user xxx i have a message
displayed "Warning you password expire in xx (5) days"
if i put in /etc/shadow the correct value again in ssh or telnet i see
"Your password has expired" and the change password appear
but if  i logon with a win98/Me workstation to my SMB PDC 
1) in the case i have xx days for change password i login normally but no
message appear
2) if my password expire by ssh or telnet , by SMB login from win98 dont let me
saying my password is incorrect.
from i know when this is set from a NT PDC SERVER the win98 must be supplied the
change password message and let me change it.. but using samba i cant..
any idea??
thx

There is no support for this in the Win9X series of clients, Sorry.

The upcoming Samba 3.0 will return a more interesting error code, but
I'm not sure the Win9X client has the capacity to deal with it in any
case.  Are you saying that it works with an NT PDC for a Win9X cleint?
