Hi, My name is Lou and I work for Astoria Federal Savings Bank. I just installed SAMBA in our Unix environment and would like to use pdbedit to manage the password policy. Samb is working well in my Unix environment. However, I cannot get pdbedit to update the password policy. No matter what I do what pdbcommand I use, I am still having the same issue. I followed all the instructions from the google search for pdbedit, It is still not working. I am not using ldap however. Is that the reason why it is not working. Please help SAMBA version I am using is 3.4.5. Same as pdbedit.

Chris, I think I am using passdb backend = smbpasswd. How do I change it to passdb backend = tdbsam in Solaris10? I am unable to find the passdb command even whithin Samba.

"testparm -v" should show you the backend in use. The pdbedit command has options for exporting and importing between formats.
