samba - Apr 2001 - Password Expirey

Is there anyway to expire password for windows clients with a Samba (in my case
recent alpha version)?  I found a post the TNG parameter "password expire
time 10" but a "strings smbd | grep expire" didn't turn in up
in the binary.  Anyone
have any ideas if this is possble (I see it posted frequently to the archives, 
but no answers).

Hi Adam,
Don't think that has made it into the 2.2 cvs branch; you can set the
timeout for 
MACHINE passwords, but not user passwords, at least not as a configurable
parameter 
in smb.conf.  Depending on how you are doing authentication, there may be
some scripting
workaround for this, but I haven't played with it.  Perhaps someone on the
list may know.
Don

Not yet.  It's on the todo list.
