I installed samba-3.0.28-0 PDC. I set "maximum password age" at 90 days and "minimum password age" at 2 days (to do some test). pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 172800 I checked "pierluigi" account with "pdbedit -Lv pierluigi" Password last change: gio, 10 gen 2008 Password can change: sab, 12 gen 2008 Password must change: mer, 09 apr 2008 To simulate the change of password, I changed the date on XP pc and I did with the logon account "pierluigi". I would have expected that from the day "Saturday, 12 January 2008" until "Monday, 07 April 2008 I could receive the message "Password expired: n days. Do you want to change the password? Instead this message is started only at 25 March!!!! "Password expired: 14 days. Do you want to change the password? The "minimum password age " is working properly? Where is the mistake? Thanks Andrea
