> Always possible, but not knowing the code, who knows ?
> There are a few ways of determining if/when a users password expires:

> There is the ms-DS-User-Password-Expired attribute, but this isn't
> available to Samba.

> There is the msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed attribute, but again
> this isn't available.

> Finally there is the maxPwdAge attribute, this, along with the users
> pwdLastSet attribute, can be used to calculate when the password
> expires. However, if the maxPwdAge attribute doesn't exist or is set to
> '0' , then no password should expire, so there should be no reason to
> calculate when the password expires.

net user [username] /domain
