Hi all,

I recently upgraded to sarge, and now my samba passwords expire every
couple of weeks (i think). I also think it's using this new password
database. How do I turn off password expiration?

Thanks!

I seem to be having the same problem, my samba passwords all keep
expiring. I noticed that there was no resolution on the list
archives, so I thought I'd ask again.

thanks,
Brian Minton


As promised, here are the notes I've kept about this:

pdbedit -c "[X ]" $username

now don't ask me what I was thinking when I wrote this down, but maybe
it can help someone :) (I don't even know if this is correct!)
