Looking in the mail archives [1] I see someone else had a similar problem but I saw no resolution. I got the error: NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_EXPIRED. (btw error RAP2242). I'm 100% positive the user's system password was not expired, I was able to log into the system console, and via ssh. When I changed the password using smbpasswd, it worked again. But I'd like to know where I can change the samba password expiration time, or set it when creating a new samba user. Leif [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg48708.html
