Hi, I've been looking at changing an NT password on a Mac OS X computer using: smbpasswd -r <domain controller> -U <username> This works fine but I'm curious if there is a way to detect, using Samba, when a NT account's password has been expired? Our security depart is planning a 90 day password expiry scheme. I thought it would be handy to have a script check for this at login and prompt them to update it, if required. Our PDC is a Windows 2000 box running AD. My Samba version is 2.2.3a. Thanks for any help, Chris McKinnon, Helpdesk Analyst Information Technology Services Calgary Board of Education
