Same problem here too after updating from 3.0.11 to 3.0.12. I'm using 
the LDAP schema that was shiped with 3.0.11.

The commandline options of pdbedit changed from
'{max,min}imum password age' to
'{max,min}imum password age (seconds since 1970)'

You can see this also in:

# tdbdump /var/lib/samba/account_policy.tdb | grep minimum
key = "minimum password age\00"
key = "minimum password age (seconds since 1970)\00"

'seconds since 1970' should also be 'seconds since last change'

Thanks
   Carsten
