you need to setup some password policies.. I was just playing with this a couple days ago.. seems to work very nicely :)

It stores all the information in the LDAP Entry for the Domain (sambaDomainName=yourdomain)

anyway.. here's the link I learnt from:

http://searchopensource.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid39_gci1152805,00.html?bucket=ETA

specifically, you need to set the "password history" setting.

I don't think you can just modify the entries in ldap.. I think you have to use pdbedit, as stated on the document..

good luck :)

Hello,
I have working PDC with ldap

 samba                         3.0.21c-1

I try to force users change their password by setting password
expiration. It works - the samba asks a user to change his password.

But user can set value of the password to the previos one and system
accepts it - at the end no change was made :-)

Can samba check whether user really changed value of his password?

 I tried to change password format from SSHA to SHA (it can be checked)
but no
 result.

 Thanks for advice,
 Jan Stavel
