I have been researching this for some time and have run into nothing but walls. My local LUG has basically told me this won't work or at least that no-one in the group has gotten it to work. I am trying to setup some SAMBA servers to replace some NT and Novell servers but I have been informed, by higher powers, that I must be able to do password aging with whatever I setup (like passwords expiring in 40 days and users being able to change their passwords). I have been looking at PAM with SAMBA but cannot figure out how to make things work - and I am beginning to wonder if it is possible. If someone knows how to get this accomplished I would greatly appreciate a pointer to some docs that would help me out. -or- If someone knows that this does not work then please let me know so I can start spending my time on learning Novell (which would greatly disappoint me) Thanks, -russ
