I am interested in this too, but what I realy want is to lock the user account after a number of bad logins. The pdbedit tool that comes with samba 3.x suite does exactly what we want but it did not work for me. I set the number of bad logons to 3 using: pdbedit -p "bad lockout attempt" -C 3 When testing this trying to logon using bad password 3 times samba does not lock the account. But I think it should work for password's. Didn't test yet. Take a look at these docs http://samba.vernstok.nl/htmldocs/pdbedit.8.html http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba-technical&m=105224209732235&w=2

This can be done with Samba-3. You can set the password policy using: 1. Unix command line too is: pdbedit - see man page for pdbedit 2. Microsoft SrvTools.exe - can be installed on NT4 Workstation, Windows 200x / XP - use the Domain User Manager 3. Microsoft NEXUS.EXE - use this for domain management from Win 9x/Me - use the Domain User Manager - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
