Re: [Samba] Samba password expiry time

2005-11-28 Thread Mike Hodgkinson

Ah pdbedit, thank you.
It didnt come up after hours of googling and searching through the 
official howto, otherwise I wouldn't have asked here. Perhaps it is just 
my inexperience with the Samba How-to.


Cheers

There is nothing in the official Samba How-to about this.

Has anyone managed to set thier default expiry time?

I am using Samba 3.0.14a-Debian with an OpenLDAP backend.

   



chapter 10 of the How-To available from www.samba.org (I mention this in
case you have older dead tree form)

the command is called pdbedit

Quick - fire the documentation maintainer! Bad boy! Bad, Bad Boy!

Oops, How about chapter 10 of the Official HOWTO?

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf

Maybe some day we will get our doc right. ;-/
