[Samba] Users/admin unable to reset passwords

[Marco Gaiarin]

Mandi! Mark Foley via samba
  In chel di` si favelave...

This is effectively strange.

This is normal. You have set 'account expiration', not 'password
expiration'.
Password expiration get setted via policy (GPO for client, passwordpolicy
for samba).
