[Samba] sambaPwdMustChange

[Collen Blijenberg <MLHJ>]

Hmm.. i'm wondering the follow, there are some
passwd backends, where that lame usermanager from
micr0s0ft doen't work (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=892)

in that case, you need the pdbediter...
but "pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000"
is that used for all users, or just 1.. ??
let's say that i issue the above command, does all my users have
to change after 90 day's ?? or just 1 dude.. (coz' there is no
username in the command..)

also, i still need the command for my GUI usermanager..!
l8r..
