[Samba] Machine account keep expiring

[Umberto Zanatta]

Hi,

I've a problem with samba and ldap but it's the first time that samba
works so bad.

I made a network with samba and a few of windows client. Since four
months (the networks was made on january) and every 10/12 days the
workstations go out from the domain.

The user can't log, and when i try logging with administrator It ask me
to change him password.

So I must unjoin the workstation from the domain and join again.

on log files i found that:

auth/auth_sam.c:sam_account_ok(159)
  sam_account_ok: Account for user 'administrator' password expired!.
[2006/10/12 18:00:18, 1] auth/auth_sam.c:sam_account_ok(160)
  sam_account_ok: Password expired at 'Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:55:38
GMT' (1146138938) unix time.
 account expires!
