I use tdbsam .
I use pdbedit -P "password hisotry" -C 3
pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 5
         -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000 (90 days)
         -P "minimum password age" -C 6912000 (80 days)
         -P "user must logon to change password" -C 2 (on)
So my passwords need to be changed every 90 days and user can change it 
after 80 days .

I use this policies 6months and everything was ok. Windows xp users 
after logon was informed that they must chang password for xx days and 
they can change it after 80 days.
But after changing time from winter to summer pdbedit work very strange!!

Today  I have discover terrible thing. pdbedit -Lv show me that every 
user changed password but windows doesn't show any notice about password 
change !!! The worst think is that password history doesn't worked and 
allow all users to write down the same password!!

Nobody even know that change his own password because windows doesnt' 
show any notice, any window !!! They normally login as everyday do but  
pdbedit "changed password last set" entry to today date !!!
 Pdbedit -Lv shows that password was set eg today and next time they can 
change passord for 80 days!!!! But password is the same !!!

PLEASE HELP!!!
 What should I do to force samba and pdbedit to change passwords correct 
and force to admonish password history !!!??
