Thanks for the bug-report, this is now Fixed in 3.0 CVS. Damned, this is a bug? I though it was logical that it was running that way... Fabien Chevalier -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

If microsoft has '0' as no limit (and making people change passwords forever more doesn't make much sense) then we need to match it, as these can be set from usrmgr. We map 0 NTTime to 0 unixtime.

[Samba] pdbedit -P 'maximum password age' -C 0 should == never expire?
When I set the 'maximum password age' to 0, my password expired immediately after I did a smbpasswd. Shouldn't setting it to 0 mean the password will never expire? Or are there any other way to set password to never expire? Here is the microsoft's interpretation on 'maximum password age': http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/entserver/501.asp It said 0 = 'never expire'. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Hello, In fact i think this doesn't work like that with Samba. the field name is the same, but in Samba case, it contains a number of seconds. Each time you change your password, the 'password must change' field in your account is incremented by this number. So in your case it's incremented of 0, so your password expires immediately..
