I'm running Samba 3.0.4 (using a tdb backend) as the PDC for several windows
2000 clients. I would like to enable an account lockout policy. I set the
number of bad password attempts using pdbedit by issuing,
# pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 3
and recieved confirmation that this was correct. I then tried to enable
locking by issuing
# pdbedit -u username -c "[L]"
However pdbedit -Lv does not show any change to the account flags. I have
been able to set other flags like "Password does not expire",
"account
disabled", etc. When setting these I receive confirmation that the flag
has
been set but go not receive any confirmation when trying to set the lockout.
Any suggestions? Is there something else I need to turn on for this to
work?
