Hi Boaz,

	I'm using LDAP as a backend so YMMV.

	Hmmm, you should upgrade your samba version. Not sure
if it will solve your problem, but I'm using 3.0.24 and the
information of this message is based on this version. Anyway,
3.0.14 and 3.0.2x has lots of improvements and fixes that are
worthwhile.

	Not sure if it is a bug in pdbedit, but there is an
unusual behaviour of samba with regards to passwd fields,
here is a message where I explain the behaviour:

	Basically, even when changing it per-user, you need
to respect that global policy to get things working as
expected. I've been adding users and doind the pwd dance
for a few months now, and everything is working fine.


	Kind regards,
