Hi all!

When i activate the acount policy under samba 3, is there any why that
i, using console commands like pdbedit and smbpass, do the following:

1.- Unblock a account that has been blocked due to many errors retry (i
set the account policy to 3, which means that after 3 erroneous
attempts, samba will block the account )

2.- Set a account to change password on next logon

I can do this without a hitch using de usermanager for domains, but i
would like to be able to do it directly from the command line in the
linux server.


Best Regards, and thanks as usual for such nice software
