[Samba] Changing password problem

[stephane.purnelle at corman.be]

Hi Christian,

The ldap passwd sync is used for set if samba update LM, NT passwords and
LDAP password or not the LDAP Password.
But I read on the man of smb.conf :

This option is used to define whether or not Samba should sync the LDAP
password with the NT and LM hashes for normal accounts (NOT for
workstation, server or domain trusts) on a password change via SAMBA.


The ldap passwd sync can be set to one of three values:
      Yes = Try to update the LDAP, NT and LM passwords and update the
      pwdLastSet time.
      No = Update NT and LM passwords and update the pwdLastSet time.
      Only = Only update the LDAP password and let the LDAP server do the
      rest


Why sambaPwdMustChange is not updated, samba must update sambaPwdMustChange
if the password policy maximum password age is set.
Maybe this options is corrected in 3.0.6 ?

Thank you

        Subject:        [Samba] Changing password problem






Hi,

When a client try to change password :

if sambaPwdCanChange = 2147483647 and sambaPwdMustChange = 1090923529 (for
example)
Samba would not change the password  :
I can find in log :
      user xxx cannot change password now, must wait until ven, 13 déc
1901
21:45:51 GMT

But, if I set the sambaPwdCanChange to 0, the password is changed but, the
sambaPwdMustChange is not updated to next date.

I use LDAP and password policy.
The unix password sync = no

Can anyone answer to this problem ?

Thank you
