OK, Each user has a line in smbpasswd a little bit like this:
nobody:99:XXX:XXX:[DU ]:LCT-00000000:
and you (and the code) are suggesting that replacing the space after the U
with an X will stop the password expiry messages for that user?
nobody:99:XXX:XXX:[DUX ]:LCT-00000000:
Did I miss any documentation about this? Anyway, I'll try this and see if I
get any more complaints ...
>Take a look at the passwd.c code!
Not as scary as I thought it would be!
Thanks for you help,
Steven
