[Samba] RE: samba 3.0.25a

[Sean.Beaven at UK.ING.COM]

Dear All,

I have having difficulty getting samba to prompt for a new password when
the old one has expired ( I have forced the expiry by using pdbedit -P
"maximum password age" -C 300). I can reset the password (smbpasswd) on
the Solaris 8 (Generic_117350-53) samba server, but not from the client
side (windows XP). It prompts for a new password, but just "sits" there.
The logs say the password has expired.  I would appreciate some
feedback. I have now reset the expiry to a day and see it this works
(tommorow that is) as perhaps 5 mins is not enough. I have also
installed the sol 10 version (same version of samba) on another server
sun box and it just keeps on prompting for a passwd - it does not even
prompt me to change my passwd.  I am sure it is something very silly I
have overlooked. If you need any more info please do not hesitate to
contact me.
