[Samba] Prevent machine password change

[Peter Huetmannsberger]

Hi

I am using samba 3.0.7-2 on my FC1 box as a PDC with a backend of tdbsam 
and I would like to set up a BDC for the domain as well.

The big samba book tells me it can be done with tdbsam, but is wary about 
the machine passwords changing, thus breaking the replication done with 
rsync.

I don't have the time right now to get into an ldap backend, so I was 
wondering if there is a way to stop the clients from changing their 
passwords regularily. I have googled for it but to no avail so far.I will 
continue looking, but if someone out there knows where to tell samba to 
tell its clients that a machine password change is not required I would 
appreciate it very much indeed, if I were told,

many thanks,
