Weekly machine password changes (RE: RE: [Samba] odd: everything SHOULD work... winbind)

[Nir Soffer]

Hmm. According to these articles, if I change the machine password
change interval in smb.conf to an impossible value (1,000,000 days), the
PDC would never know, and/or care? Is this true?

Thanks,
Nir.
