With this option set to 0, I think the password is never updated, then, secrets.tdb file is never used (I read in man.conf(5) that this is only needed when using security=domain, not my case because I use security=user). But in my case, locking.tdb is used a lot (using strace, when the system works well, I see a lot of fcntl64 calls using the locking.tdb file descriptor).
