Secondly, it would be much more interesting to see your smb.conf and some logfiles. I'm not sure why it would be saying that.

Hi Jeff, The "X" flag in the smbpasswd file should set that use such that his password never expires; for instance in your example smbpasswd you have the line: Petrowich:500:4EFC971E2C6A11F0AAD3B435B51404EE:9BE760E8DBBE3BE65210225AC1570 C9F:[UX ]:LCT-3B7850D6: the [UX] portion of the line tells samba that this is a User account, and the X tells it to never expire the password. So if you used usermgr to look at petrowich, you should see the 'password never expires' box checked. If you do this with your other users, that should take care of the problem. Sorry, at this time I haven't messed with getting usermgr to work with Samba 2.2.x as a pdc yet....

I went into usrmgr and I noticed that the password expires check box is on but I can not change it or anything else for that matter. Could you explain to me how to get rid of the passord expires box or how to configure samba so that srvmgr and usrmgr work? I've read the on-line help but it doesn't really talk you through the procedure.
