I have found that when passwords are reset from a windows machine, the default password expiry period is around 40 days. I would like to change this to say 90 days, but have been unable to find a way. I tried the option "password expire time" but testparm doesn't seem to recognise it. There is nothing in the official Samba How-to about this. Has anyone managed to set thier default expiry time? I am using Samba 3.0.14a-Debian with an OpenLDAP backend. Cheers Please note: The SolNet Solutions offices will be closed from Friday the 23rd December to Wednesday the 4th January. During this time, please call 0800-SOLNET (0800-765638) if you require urgent assistance. Please enjoy the break and take care over the holiday period.

Bad boy! Bad, Bad Boy! Oops, How about chapter 10 of the Official HOWTO? http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf Maybe some day we will get our doc right. ;-/ - John T.> > Has anyone managed to set thier default expiry time? > > I am using Samba 3.0.14a-Debian with an OpenLDAP backend. > > Cheers > > > Please note: The SolNet Solutions offices will be closed from Friday the > 23rd December to Wednesday the 4th January.
