[Samba] Smba 4, looking for a command to show the password expiration date

[Mario Pio Russo]

Good day all

I am developing a tool in perl to run on my sabma4-DC. This tool must check
the password exp date and send a reminder when quite close. Now in order to
do that, I need a command to extract the expiration date from samba 4.

I have used pdbedit but it looks like the files "password must change" is
not reporting correctlly the exp date, in fact I see:


Unix username:        mariopio

Password must change: never
Last bad password   : 0
Bad password count  : 0

while If I run kinit, I correctlly see the expiration date as set by the
passwd age:

root at ccdc-samba4:~/automation-scripts# kinit mariopio at CCDC.LAN
Password for mariopio at CCDC.LAN:
Warning: Your password will expire in 81 days on Mon 27 Jul 2015 10:46:05
BST


any help is appreciated

thanks!
