[Samba] Your password expires today problem

[Richard Lamboj]

Good Morning,

Its definitly a signed 32 bit int:
net sam policy set "maximum password age" 4294967291
Account policy "maximum password age" value was: -1
Account policy "maximum password age" value is now: -5

Does not work:
net sam policy set "maximum password age" never
Account policy "maximum password age" value was: 2147483647
Account policy "maximum password age" value is now: -1

Does also not work:
net sam policy set "maximum password age" 2147483647
Account policy "maximum password age" value was: -5
Account policy "maximum password age" value is now: 2147483647

So when i'am using "never" it will be set to -1, so it must be a signed 
integer and this has a maximal value of 2147483647.

Napalm and a new Job on the Beach could be the Solution...

King Regards

Richi
