Hello, first of all, thanks to everyone who has responded to my questions lately. All pointers are as always much appreciated. That said, I have now narrowed down (and solved, sort of) the problem with the mysterious "freeze effect"[1] I've been posting about.

I need reset userses passwords. Here is, how those tools work for me: smbpasswd - obeys account policy when run as non root, but I need to know old password; as root it bypasses smbd afaik, so no policy (?)... ldappasswd -x -S -W -D "admin dn" "user dn" - does not change sambaNTPassword (creates/...
