Extract the value of the password lifetime into the LIFETIME variable:

 	LIFETIME=`samba-tool domain passwordsettings show | \
 		grep "^Maximum password age (days):" | awk '{print $5}'`

and then, for the user in question, extract the value of pwdLastSet into 
LASTSET (perhaps from ldbsearch), and then:

 	LASTSET=$((LASTSET/10000000))
 	LASTSET=$((LASTSET-11644473600))
 	EXPIRES=$((LASTSET+3600*24*LIFETIME))
 	EXPIRESSTR=`date -d @$EXPIRES`
 	echo "Password expires $EXPIRESSTR"
