similar to: pdbedit: manually change password

Hello After spending quite a few hours building a completely new domain with samba as a pdc for a local school I now have everything working(shares, printers, multiuser addscripts, etc). The only problem I have is that it is impossible to force user to change password on next logon from pdbedit. It is possible to set this trough usrmgr.exe but its not really convenient when adding multiple users

Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject). The environment is Solaris 9 09/05, running Samba 3.0.22/Sun DS 5.2/idealx scripts 0.9.1, but I can translate openldap/linux/samba-ese if you think of a solution that would apply in that environment. Anyway - my core problem is an inability to add machine accounts

Tony, I am having pretty much the same issue that you were having with your Samba + Ldap setup it is listed below...did you happen to solve this issue or figure a work around ? Thanks, STEVE Hello, I've seen other folks posting with this problem, but I think my issue is a bit different (thus the super long subject).

One of our users tried to change his password through Samba and was told that he was unable to do so. Samba logged the following error: user john.doe does not have permissions to change password I checked the Samba source code to see what this error meant, and I found that it meant that the "password can change" time was set to the maximum time allowed. However, when I ran pdbedit to

Hey everyone, I've got a file server (named success) running Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E. I've also got another file server (named happiness) running Samba version 3.3.15 and LDAP. I've got success pointed to happiness for LDAP in the smb.conf, and running a "pdbedit -v user" works, it shows the proper information...except for the password must expire, it seemingly ignores

Hello, I'm using samba 3.2.41 at Debian Lenny. I have some users in my smbpasswd file, now I'm trying to force them to change password once a given period. #pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 300 Above-mentioned command is affecting ONLY "new" users (users created after first first launch of this command), "old" users are not affected, passwords

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"

Dear All, Why my users doesnot forced to change their password although I already ran pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" [root@samba samba]# pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password" -C 2 account policy "user must logon to change password" description: Force Users to logon for password change (default: 0 => off, 2 => on) account policy

I'm setting up a Samba server using CentOS 4's (RedHat Enterprise Linux) standard version (v.3.0101411). I want to be able to force users to change their password upon first logging in and to have to change them after a certain period of time (per user, not system-wide). The problem is that the pdbedit commands don't seem to be registering at all in the database. If I enter the

When the administrator has reset the password for a user with smbpasswd, our users must be forced to change the password. We have tried with pdbedit -P "user must logon to change password -C 1", but nothing happens. The user can logon with the password given from the administrator and is not forced to change it. Thanks for help regards MW

I have a couple of questions about pdbedit. I am having trouble using pdbedit in shell scripts. First, on a freshly installed system with no-one in the tdbsam database, trying to add multiple machine accounts via a loop construct in a shell script fails with a message that the database can't be found/doesn't exist. I then added root manually just to get the system going, which solves

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

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

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

Hi All Have recently moved from a machine running 2.2 to a new machine running 3.0.10-1. I've just converted the smbpasswd database to tdbsam as I understand password ageing etc does not work with smbpasswd. I've set the line 'passdb backend = tdbsam' in the smb.conf, restarted the daemon and now I'm trying to force a user account to have to change his password the next time

Hi all, I'm trying to create a domain user in USRMGR.EXE. The samba account will have its property "Password must change" set to 0. this results in the user not being able to access shares if he has been never logged in before. smbclient will return NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE after logon. in USRMGR.EXE, it is impossible to uncheck the checkbox for "password must
