[Samba] Samba + ldap issues

[Allgood, John]

Hey All


I am having a problems with using openldap and samba. We have been having issues with samba passwords expiring and I have tried several things to resolve the issues. The ldap server was setup using the smbldap-tools. When the password expires the only thing I have been able to do is to reset the password. I have tried the smbldap-usemod -B -1 &username to disable the SambaPwdMustChange. Also tried to set the SambaAcctFlags to UX. We set this ldap server up in hurry and did not have a chance to implement a proper password policy. This is using the stock version of Samba and LDAP that came with RHEL5.
