I'm helping a school district set up Samba for staff/student shares. The PDC/BDCs are running NT4. Samba is v 3.0.23a on Fedora Core 5 boxes. winbind is mapping the users. Access to shares through Windows clients or smbclient works perfectly.

There is a desire to have some faculty access the server using, e.g., an ssh client (mostly for remote file access). When I try to log in using an account that has an old password but with "password never expires" set, I get the message "Your password has expired" and I can't log in. If I reset the password (and presumably reset the expiration date), I can log in with no problem.

So everything works except when an account with an old password tries to log in, even though "never expires" is set. I've tried a number of alternatives in the pam and samba config files to no avail.

Any direction would be appreciated.  Thanks!
