i've tried to set the maximum age of passwords with:

account policy value for maximum password age is now 8035200
as you can see Password must change: Fri, 13 Dec 1901 21:45:51 GMT is
wrong!
what can i do to set the password max age?
The maximum password age is a server setting, not a specific user
setting.
It tells the server how to calculate the Password must change field
when, and _only_ when the user password is changed.
When the user changes it's password, the Password must change field is
calculated as current time + maximum password age seconds.
Changing the maximum password age setting will not change any existing
user Password must change field. You either need to force a user to
change his password or edit the password must change field by yourself.
This is hot NT has been designed, and is also the only sane way it can
work.
Simo.
thanks for your reply but i've tried to change the password and the value
Password must change doesn't change!
hmmmm
let's check:
# pdbedit -v -u storm | grep must
Password must change: ven, 13 dic 1901 21:45:51 GMT
Now I try to set "maximum password age" like yours:
# pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 8035200
account policy value for maximum password age was 4294967295
account policy value for maximum password age is now 8035200
# smbpasswd storm
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
check it again:
# pdbedit -v -u storm | grep must
Password must change: dom, 26 mar 2006 22:37:01 GMT
I think that's what you want!!!! but now let's have more days to play with:
# pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 1003089564
# smbpasswd storm
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
# pdbedit -v -u storm | grep must
Password must change: mar, 06 ott 2037 18:38:54 GMT
Cheers...
Alex!
