I'm using samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2

I found how to change the maximum age,
[root][WRN3:~]> pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 180
account policy value for maximum password age was 90
account policy value for maximum password age is now 180

But I still can't seem to change anything in the individual user parameters.

Also, I see that the bad password counter does not increment when the user fails to log in. I purposefully used about ten bad passwords in a row and nothing showed up in "pdbedit -L -v <user>".

Actually two issues on this subject. Migrating to a new system. First, I want to set all accounts so when the user logs in the first time, he is asked to set a new password.

Second, I need to have passwords expire and require a change every 3 months.

As I understand it, First, I need to set "Password must change: " to '0'. For the second one, I need to set the maximum password age.

I am using the tdbsam password backend. The command I found to reset the password was "pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time=0 -u <user>". When I run this, I get a response of "<user>:507:<Real Name>". However, after looking at it with "pdbedit -L -v <user>" Nothing changes.

I also cannot find anywhere to change the password maximum age.

Ideas appreciated.

samba version?  As I recall, this wasn't implemented immediately in
Samba 3.0.0 but somewhere down the road.
