Hi, maybe a easy question, but I didn't found any answers in mailinglists or google..... The pdbedit account settings like "password lifetime" seem not to work if I use smbpasswd backend. Is this statement correct? In my opinion this setting should also work because the last set time is saved in the smbpasswd file. And one more question: Might the account settings have any negative impact if I use the smbpasswd backend or will they just be useless? Thanks in advance ...
I've been told smbpasswd does not support password aging. You need to use tdbsam for that.
