This is Samba 4.18.9. I have confirmed that in ADUC if I set the user >

indeed prompted for a new password at next login, but regardless of what he
enters, he continues to be prompted to change his password.
If I un-check "User must change password at next login" he can get in with his
old/current password.
It looks like the act of entering the new password neither sets the new password
nor un-checks the "reset next login" box.
What server logs do you mean? Those on the DC or on the Windows domain member?
I've looked in the DC logs and see nothing, but maybe I don't know what to look
for.
