Antwort: Re: Password expiration after joining Domain

[Mathias Wohlfarth]

I have reed (half a year ago) that there was a bug in the cvs code with
this behaviour. This bug has been fixed.
I have been looking into the code in this area, because I had to create a
patch to implement a password expire
function. There is no password expiry in the latest version of 2.2.2
Did you compile the latest code or did you get a compiled package?

I'm having the same issues, so if you find the answer to this problem,
please let me know.  Also, if anyone on the
list knows, I'd appreciate it.  TIA,
