Hi! i realy got stuck on testing samba and ldap scenarios. i want to use PASSWORD POLICIES. But it looked like SAMBA ignores my Policy Settings within my LDAP DOMAIN Object. I have set - sambaMaxPwdAge 300 - sambaMinPwdAge 60 - sambaMinPwdLength 8 - sambaPwdHistoryLength 10 and so on. Someone told me there is another tool called "pdbedit" i should use to edit my Samba Domain-Policy stuff. So i tried ... but it showed me "different" values.. i took lots of trouble with searching internet and reading samba docs for that problem. But there been no such information... Meanwhile i found the Solution: If you change Attributes (values) on the LDAP Domain-Object YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE SAMBA DAEMON and give it some time too, so it will read those new values. I think this is an important information that Samba DOES NOT request that domain parameters "live" but only on Start-Time. So i recomment this should be placed in the samba docs at some points. regards Axel
