[Samba] net ads join, machine password non-expiring
Hi, I have a question about the machine account when one does "net ads join -U admin@REALM.COM when I join a machine to the domain, the machine account that gets created has a non-expiring password. This is only a problem for the security team that monitors our domain, they frown on any accountt that has a non-expiring password.. Is there a switch that I can throw that will create the machine with an expiring password? I've used the "machine password timeout" switch in my smb.conf. I can go back and with an vb-script throw that switch after the fact, but if there was another way, it'd be good to know. Thanks for your help! Kindest regards, Fred . smb.conf [code] [global] workgroup = US realm = MY.DOM.COM netbios name = adc070201-015 server string = Samba Server- Mandriva 2009.0 security = ADS auth methods = winbind password server = pwd1.dom.com pwd2.dom.com pwd3.dom.com log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 250 name resolve order = wins bcast host lmhosts server signing = auto client ntlmv2 auth = yes os level = 5 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No browse list = No enhanced browsing = No wins server = ip1.ip2.ipa.ipb idmap uid = 70000-2000000 idmap gid = 70000-2000000 winbind separator = + valid users = @"valid users" admin users = @"admin users" read list = @"read users" write list = @"write users" map acl inherit = Yes host msdfs = no machine password timeout = 604800 [burn] path = /data1/burn1 valid users = @"valid users" admin users = @"admin users" invalid users = @keepout read list = @"read users" write list = @"write users"
