What do you mean? I just check the pwdLastSet with the account policy on
password min age when a user want to change his password, and I'm not setting
the value in the policy. What does mean that "set the value in the policy"
when a user want to change his password?

To conform the Microsoft (also in Advanced Server for Unix) the min/max
password age are in day's resolution. I think that it has no sense to set it
to some minutes (you can always set to 0 days).
