More info on the problem that users could access shares, but not login, if their passwords were "expired" by days, but had "password never expires" flagged.

During further experimentation, I discovered (I'm not a Windows person) that in addition to flagging a user as "password never expires", there is an account policy flag specifying the same thing globally. If the account policy flag is set, the users can log in; if only the per-user flag is set, they cannot.

So to refine my previous statement, it appears pam_winbind ignores the per-user "password never expires" flag.
