RES: [Samba] Manage user policy

[Fernando Ribeiro]

I am interested in this too, but what I realy want is to lock the user
account after a number of bad logins.
The pdbedit tool that comes with samba 3.x suite does exactly what we
want but it did not work for me.
I set the number of bad logons to 3 using: pdbedit -p "bad lockout
attempt" -C 3
When testing this trying to logon using bad password 3 times samba does
not lock the account.
But I think it should work for password's. Didn't test yet.
Take a look at these docs 
http://samba.vernstok.nl/htmldocs/pdbedit.8.html

Luck for all!

This can be done with Samba-3. You can set the password policy using:

1. Unix command line too is: pdbedit
	- see man page for pdbedit
2. Microsoft SrvTools.exe
	- can be installed on NT4 Workstation, Windows 200x / XP
	- use the Domain User Manager
3. Microsoft NEXUS.EXE
	- use this for domain management from Win 9x/Me
	- use the Domain User Manager
