Hi all Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not able to figure this out from the manpage nor from the HOWTOs... How can I force a user to change his password at next logon? I tried: # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 -u username # pdbedit -u username -P "user must logon to change password" -C 0 # pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password"

I am currently running the latest build of samba-3.0.23a with a tdbsam backend. I have noticed for sometime now when I use pdbedit -c [X] username it sets the Account Flag X for password never expires but does not modify the Password must change for the user. Therefore even though the account flag is set the password still expires. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Since a few months ago Samba ask each of our users to change password at log on every month and I have not been able to disable it. I found this page and follow the instructions: http://playingwithsid.blogspot.com/2010/12/change-samba-password-expiry-setting.html The default 'Password Must Change' policy was set to never and pdbedit shows 'Password Must Change: never'

I have a patch that enables "user password timeout" for 2.2.2. It works only for WinNT, Win2000 (tested and Samba on AIX and Linux) and I think with WinXP. It does not work with Win9x. You can download the patch from http://www.m-wohlfarth.de/Downloads/Samba/samba.html. I never had the problem with automatically expiring password as described in the originating message - I couldn't

Hi, I currently migrate an existant earlier SAMBA (Version 2.2.9) / OpenLDAP (slapd 2.2.26) configuration to SAMBA (Version 3.0.25b-0.4E.6) / OpenLDAP (slapd 2.4.11). To preserve the compatibility with my schema.v2, my new smb.conf now contains : passdb backend = ldapsam_compat:ldap://w.x.y.z:389 (where w.x.y.z is the ldap server) Simultaneously, for same reason, i kept uncommented the

Hello! I want to permit the root account to be called administrator from the win clients in my network. Therefore I have added 'root = administrator' in my /etc/samba/smbusers. I have also added 'username map = /etc/samba/smbusers' in smb.conf. When I try to log on as administrator from a windows client I get a message that the user does not exist. I am running samba 3 on

I'm helping a school district set up Samba for staff/student shares. The PDC/BDCs are running NT4. Samba is v 3.0.23a on Fedora Core 5 boxes. winbind is mapping the users. Access to shares through Windows clients or smbclient works perfectly. There is a desire to have some faculty access the server using, e.g., an ssh client (mostly for remote file access). When I try to log in

Hey, I am totally confused/lost/confused getting this config working. I am trying to get samba to authenticate against LDAP. After reading a bunch of docs I generated the config at the end. When I run testparm against it I get: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Unknown parameter encountered: "ldap server" Ignoring unknown parameter "ldap server" and then the

Sorry for the repost, but I've not gotten any response and the problem persists. Does anyone have any idea how to fix? =================================== I read a few posts in the archives about this problem and that it was to be fixed in 3.0.23c. Currently I'm running 3.0.23d-2+b1 on a debian system and am getting the following: $ ssh -l testuser fileserver Password: Your password

Samba experts, Ok, we are having so many problems getting ldap to work, we decided to start over with our compile. We are compiling Samba --with-ldap on our AIX 5.1 system which uses gcc. Openldap (for client support) exists in /usr/local/openldap/2.2.17. In order for Samba to find the ldap.h file, we had to configure with CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/openldap/2.2.17/include"

Hi. I enabled policies with pdbedit. Password must be changed every 90 days and must contain at least 8 characters. I enabled password history too. After that (I tried it in samba 3.4.3 and 3.0.25 with same behaviour) every time a user try to log in the domain using Windows receives a "Your password expires today. Do you want to change it now ?" message box. If the password is changed,

When I set the 'maximum password age' to 0, my password expired immediately after I did a smbpasswd. Shouldn't setting it to 0 mean the password will never expire? Or are there any other way to set password to never expire? Here is the microsoft's interpretation on 'maximum password age':

Sorry, i came back on this, but: > In another, more generic, way: how password policies are enforced? still i need an answer on this question. I've done some tests, using my account, that pdbedit say: root at vdcsv1:~# LANG=C pdbedit -v gaio Unix username: gaio NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID:

More info on the problem that users could access shares, but not login, if their passwords were "expired" by days, but had "password never expires" flagged. During further experimentation, I discovered (I'm not a Windows person) that in addition to flagging a user as "password never expires", there is an account policy flag specifying the same thing globally.

I came from 10+ years of experience on Samba3 NT domains, that indeed had excellent documentation and a more (for me) UNIX-minded approach. I was (ab)used at samba tools (smbpasswd, pdbedit, wbinfo, ...), and i can
