I should have noted that this started coming up only after we switched
to LDAP.
The local policies on the workstations are mostly unchanged from the old
domain, which did not suffer from this problem. By "mostly," I mean we are now
allowing all authenticated users to change the system time (so logon.cmd can
use NET TIME /SET /Y). This shouldn't have impacted the password expiry...

Hello,
We are using Samba 3.0.14a-6, slapd 2.2.26-4 and smbldap-tools 0.9.1-2 on
Debian. My users are complaining about warnings that their password
is about to
expire and that the are told "You do not have permission to change your
password" when they try to change it. sambaAcctFlags includes the X
flag which
I thought meant "don't expire passwords." The password changing
thing has got
me even more stumped. Can anyone offer any clues?

I believe that you will find the warning about the change password is
generated by local policy on the computers and not demanded by Samba.
I think Paul was hinting at a rather quirky thing in Samba 3 that gets
an error reported to the user when he changes his password that it
didn't work but on properly configured systems, that message seems to
get sent anyway, even when the password change does indeed work.
