Dear All, I have having difficulty getting samba to prompt for a new password when the old one has expired ( I have forced the expiry by using pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 300). I can reset the password (smbpasswd) on the Solaris 8 (Generic_117350-53) samba server, but not from the client side (windows XP). It prompts for a new password, but just "sits" there. The logs say the password has expired. I would appreciate some feedback. I have now reset the expiry to a day and see it this works (tommorow that is) as perhaps 5 mins is not enough. I have also installed the sol 10 version (same version of samba) on another server sun box and it just keeps on prompting for a passwd - it does not even prompt me to change my passwd. I am sure it is something very silly I have overlooked. If you need any more info please do not hesitate to contact me.
