Hello, I'm using samba 3.0.24 and Debian 4.0. As a password backend I use smbpasswd. I set password policy: Length - 8 signs, Password history - 3, password complexity - script, maximum password age - 30 days The "password length" and complexity works, but "password history" and "maximum password age" doesn't. I tried do the same on test machine (samba 3.2.5) and it works fine (users and settings I took from my working Samba 3.0.24) . What can I do about that? What should I check? Any ideas? Pdbedit shows correct settings but the "password must change time" is 19 jan 2038 04:14:07 CET Thanks and regards Radek Bojek
I had the same problem when I set a password policy using pdbedit and tdbsam as the backend... turns out the policy would only apply to new accounts and not existing ones. However if I got the existing users to reset their passwords manually the account policy would kick in. Radek wrote:> Hello, > > > > I'm using samba 3.0.24 and Debian 4.0.
