I like the idea.  The pam_winbind.conf is a little long (and
prone to mistype). How about just "warn_pwd_expire = <num_days>"?

I think some of the lines are past 80 columns.  See the recent
README.Coding file in SAMBA_3_0.  I'll spend some time on Thursday
reviewing this more and hopefully getting it into the tree.
