I installed samba-3.0.28-0 PDC.
I set "maximum password age" at 90 days and "minimum password age" at 2
days (to do some test).
pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 7776000
pdbedit -P "minimum password age" -C 172800
I checked "pierluigi" account with "pdbedit -Lv pierluigi"
Password last change: gio, 10 gen 2008
Password can change: sab, 12 gen 2008
Password must change: mer, 09 apr 2008
To simulate the change of password, I changed the date on XP pc and I did
with the logon account "pierluigi".
I would have expected that from the day "Saturday, 12 January 2008" until
"Monday, 07 April 2008 I could receive the message
"Password expired: n days. Do you want to change the password?
Instead this message is started only at 25 March!!!!
"Password expired: 14 days. Do you want to change the password?
The "minimum password age " is working properly?
Where is the mistake?
Thanks
Andrea
