In a samba PDC 2.2.8a I've begun to experience a message on wxp sp1.
Whenever a user logs on they recieve a message stating that the password
will expire in 3 days. This message never decreases nor will it go away. I
looked in the archives and found users who have had similar problems but
no solutions. Could anyone comment and offer up a solution? thanks
