samba - Feb 2017 - Users list and the date the password will expire

Ok, maybe I haven't understood your idea then.

Mine was: check a user's password expiry if (and only if)
- the account requires a password
- the password can expire
- the account isn't disabled

And those criteria are met if the userAccountControl value is "512".

Oh wait: as you are checking bits, you have the SmartCard case covered 
as well, right?

It checks for 'ANY' disabled users.

Thanks, that was what I was trying to say (you cover all cases).

My idea was that you don't need to process any users whose password 
won't expire or who don't have one in the first place. Depending on your
situation that might actually save some time.

However, I think your solution is more complete.
