My passwords have expired again in my LDAP/Samba setup. I have been
reading in the Samba How-To and just want to make sure this is what I
need to do before I try it.
If I want to have my passwords expire in the year 2015, do I need to do
the following to all of my users?
pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2015-01-01" --time-format="%Y-%m-%d"
username
Using the ldap-usermod has not seemed to do anything. I have reset them
twice with:
smbldap-usermod -e "2014-01-01 01:01:01" -A 0 username
and they are still expring after around 40 days.
Thanks for the help.
Well I tried the following:
pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="1419120000" username
which should have set the passwords to be changed in the year 2014.
When I do a:
pdbedit -L -v username
it still shows that my password must change in about 40 days, but
changed the 'kick off day' up to the year 2014. Do I need to set the X
flag? I am not sure what that is going to do if they passwords must
change next month, but the X flag is set so that they do not expire. It
kind of contradicts itself.
Thanks again for any help.
