Hi!

i realy got stuck on testing samba and ldap scenarios. i want to use PASSWORD POLICIES. But it looked like SAMBA ignores my Policy Settings within my LDAP DOMAIN Object.
I have set

- sambaMaxPwdAge 300
- sambaMinPwdAge 60
- sambaMinPwdLength 8
- sambaPwdHistoryLength 10

and so on.

Someone told me there is another tool called "pdbedit" i should use to edit my Samba Domain-Policy stuff. So i tried ... but it showed me "different" values.. i took lots of trouble with searching internet and reading samba docs for that problem. But there been no such information...

Meanwhile i found the Solution:

If you change Attributes (values) on the LDAP Domain-Object YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE SAMBA DAEMON and give it some time too, so it will read those new values.

I think this is an important information that Samba DOES NOT request that domain parameters "live" but only on Start-Time. So i recomment this should be placed in the samba docs at some points.

regards
Axel
