Yes, it can be done with Samba-3 using either the tdbsam or the ldapsam passdb backend. I would recommend that you use Samba-3.0.21 that will soon be released as it has a number of refinements to assist in the implementation and management of password controls. Suggest you check the Samba3-HOWTO for information regarding the pdbedit command that can be used to manage these settings. It is also possible to use the NT4 domain user manager to control these settings. This is also documented in the Samba3-HOWTO. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf This book is also available in hard copy from Amazon.Com. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, 2 Ed., ISBN: 0131882228 Samba-3 by Example, 2 Ed., ISBN: 0131882221X Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
