[Samba] Expired passwords since upgrading to 3.0.25 from 3.0.24

[Jean-Jacques Moulis]

We upgraded ours samba servers to 3.0.25
All of them run on Solaris 10 machines.
They are PDC or printservers of differents Domains.
We are using smbpasswd files (not LDAP or tdbsam).

Two servers (the oldest ones configurationwise)
are exhibiting the following problem.

Windows user are greated with:
 "Your password expires today. Do you want to change it now?"

/export/samba/bin/pdbedit -L -v inetadm

A working server gives


/export/samba/bin/pdbedit -L -v inetadm
Unix username:        inetadm

The Servers are identicals (situed at differents sites)
with the same smb.conf and smbpasswd file
but with differents tdb files

I don't know what to check next and where the "Password must change" value
is stored

I will for the time being regress to a patched 3.0.24.
