similar to: Password expiration and documentation problems

I have been working to get pdbedit to expire passwords. I have seen several bugs related to pdbedit (bugzilla bug 4630 for example) on 3.0.25 so I upgraded to 3.0.25a, the latest Samba version as of this writing. What I am trying to do is set a particular user's password to expire on a certain date. If that can't be done, the ability to set it to expire "now" would be my

Hello, I?m currently having a problem where a non-root user can?t change his/her own password using smbpasswd command after the password expiration and would like to know how I could solve this problem. Currently, I have a samba server running on CentOS 6.5 with its passdb backend configured to another LDAP server. The samba version I?m currently using is samba-3.6.9-169 which should be the

Hi, I'm using Samba 3.2.5 on Debian Lenny, and I need to set the password for a certain user to expire on a specific date (not "now", it's a date in the future). When I was on Debian Etch I could use this: pdbedit -r -u user --time-format=%d-%m-%Y --pwd-must-change-time=<date> But it seems this option for pdbedit is not available anymore in the Samba version included

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:

Mandi! Rowland Penny via samba In chel di` si favelave... > The main problem here is that you are still looking at the problem from > the NT perpective, Seems obvious to me. 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

Good day all I am developing a tool in perl to run on my sabma4-DC. This tool must check the password exp date and send a reminder when quite close. Now in order to do that, I need a command to extract the expiration date from samba 4. I have used pdbedit but it looks like the files "password must change" is not reporting correctlly the exp date, in fact I see: Unix username:

Hi, I am trying to implement the *password must change at next logon* in CentOS 6.5 client using sssd 1.11.6 where Samba 4.1.10 is my backend server. Here are the list of things which I have done, 1. I have setup the CentOS to do the Domain login using sssd service. I can able to login into the CentOS client using Domain user's credentials from display and from SSH also, no problem at all.

Hi ! This is my firs post here. I've got a problem with password history policy -C 3 which doesn't work !! I set policy pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 777600 (90days) pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 691200 (80days) "user must logon to change password" -C 2 "password history" -C 3 On clients (XP PRO) some of people

Apologies if this is a RTFM issue... My first question is: anyone know of code that can assist in going through samba logfiles (looking for errors, etc.)? I have what appears to be a password expiration problem. User X has been able to mount a shared drive off the samba box using his login/password. Suddenly it doesn't appear to work: he can run "net use Z: \\server\share" from

In my current ''production'' NT-like domain (samba 4.2, OpenLDAP backend), password policies seems to ''get written'' to user data. EG, if i set: pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 and i change my password, 'Password must change' have a meningful value, eg 90 days more then the last password change: root at armitage:~# pdbedit -v

Dear all, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. We have just upgraded from Samba 3.0.24 to Samba 3.0.25, as the samba-announce suggeseted ("... is the version that servers should be run for ..."). We are running Samba as our PDC and only server in our domain. My environment is: x86_64, Debian 4.0 r0 Etch, kernel 2.6.18, gcc 4.1.2, glibc 2.3.6. Before upgrade I have read the

Hi All, I have a setup using tdbsam as a backend, I can add accounts using pdbedit -a <username> but I have only been able to add one machine account. I can't figure out why. # pdbedit -a -m test tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (test$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) I have verified that there is no entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for the machine name I

Have an issue with password policy in Samba 3.0.4 with tdbsam password backend on RedHat 8.0. This issue was observed with an up-to-date Windows XP client, NT's SRVTOOLS on Windows 2000. I can set password policy (expiration, length, etc.) using usrmgr.exe from the Windows NT Server Tools. After setting policy, when I execute 'pdbedit -Lv someuser', it does not display the correct

Hi All, Is there a built-in command to get a list of all expired accounts, or output a list of all users and expiration date? All the scripts I find seem to be PowerShell scripts that relay on some "Web Service" that I don't have or do one user at at time. Or if anyone has a script they are willing to share, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm primarily looking for a way to

What I want is to get definiri X user had the expiration date on a date and Y user on another date, but this date I could set. The date when you arrive, you have to change this password. When I use the command samba-tool user setexpiry USER - noexpiry it change the "Password must change: Tuesday, 19 Jan 2038 01:14:07 GMT" I would like to do this, so that setting the date. Em

HP-UX 11.00 Samba 3.0.21a PDC OpenLDAP backend When we log on to an XP box, the smbd process freezes for one to two minutes, while taking up almost 100% CPU. However, this does NOT happen when logging on to an NT box. We use no roaming profiles, so it's not that XP is copying files or something. In fact the pc seems to do nothing but wait. Moreover we often have the same effect when using

You think Microsoft's mailing lists and forums are better? Just wait (and wait, and and ...). Oh, that's right, you can call Microsft for help ,,, and shell out $295 per.
