Hi, In latest samba 3 there is a policy setting option:
$ pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 When user changes password, then new sambaPwdMustChange will be calculated based on policy. My policy is 90 days. works just fine. 2147483647 is just a value in far future (year 2030 or something), meaning that user doesn't have to change his password. Another way is to set value in smbldap-tools (latest version needed (included in samba 3.0.1 package). smbldap_conf.pm # Default password validation time (time in days) Comment the next line if # you don't want password to be enable for $_defaultMaxPasswordAge days (be # careful to the sambaPwdMustChange attribute's value) $_defaultMaxPasswordAge = 90; When using 'smbldap-passwd.pl username' password will be changed and needed sambaPwdMustChange will be set. Third way is to change value manually in LDAP base with ldap-modify.
