Hello List I am working on upgrading a older Samba 3.0.16 setup that uses openldap as its back-end for passwords and users. I built a clone of our setup using CentOS 5.6 and Openldap 2.4.20 , with Samba 3.6.1 .
My issue. After successfully building and install Samba users can not authenticate to the server. They are prompted with errors about Needing to change their password. Looking at my user info on the samba server I see the following issue. # pdbedit -vu msaad Unix username: msaad NT username: msaad Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-64374432-364290046-3597965222-2970 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-3988802677-3356876598-2018608366-513 Full Name: Mark Saad Home Directory: \\nycifs3\msaad HomeDir Drive: Logon Script: Profile Path: \\nycifs3\msaad\profile Domain: NYCIFS3 Account desc: hardluck Workstations: Munged dial: Logon time: 0 Logoff time: never Kickoff time: never Password last set: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:10 GMT Password can change: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:10 GMT Password must change: never Last bad password : 0 Bad password count : 0 Logon hours : FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF So I tried to set the max password age to -1 # pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C -1 valid account policy, but unable to fetch value! account policy "maximum password age" description: Maximum password age, in seconds (default: -1 => never expire passwords) account policy "maximum password age" value was: 4294967295 valid account policy, but unable to set value! Does anyone know what the root issue is ? -- mark saad | [email protected] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
