Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to give an easy
way to implement "password expiry" or such parameter to
Samba? Couldn't Samba just check this "LCT" from smbpassword
and notify the user if it's more than what's given at smb.conf?

This could perhaps be done manually now, but would be
a nifty feature to have straight from smb.conf.

Btw, Samba 2.2.2 is an excellent product - stable as a rock! =)
Thanks!
