[Samba] How to get password expiration?

Plop,

You'd like to modify .bashrc to auto-disconnect user with expired password?
I thought modern tools to use AD (SSSD, winbind, nslcd) would come with
such a mechanism inside. I do believe to remember some Linux disconnecting
me for "disabled user" or "expired password"...

Anyway, don't put that into .bashrc, they can modify it. If you really go
into that way, uses /etc/profile which is owned by root (normally).

In AD (MS and Samba) I believe expiration is calculated. You take current
date, you take pwdLastSet, you take password expiration policy and you
check if password wasn't set to far from now.

But I still believe a well written tool should manage these expirations
automagically when it comes to tools responsible to retrieve users from AD.
