Hmm.. i'm wondering the follow, there are some passwd backends, where that lame usermanager from micr0s0ft doen't work (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=892)
in that case, you need the pdbediter... but "pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000" is that used for all users, or just 1.. ?? let's say that i issue the above command, does all my users have to change after 90 day's ?? or just 1 dude.. (coz' there is no username in the command..) also, i still need the command for my GUI usermanager..! l8r.. ----------------------------------------------------- Collen Blijenberg (Montessori Lyceum Herman Jordan) Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 10:16:56 PM, you wrote: >> Oh, >> >> Its done by MS Windows.
