Thanks for pointing this out.  I never noticed this setting and my 
passwords are expiring for about the 4th time.  I'll change this setting 
before I reset them all again.

I assume that I just have to change this in the smbldap.conf file and 
then set all the passwords and that will do it?

Thanks again.
