Yes. In that case you probably have a password expiry policy on your
domain controller. That is nothing you can influence from your
workstation. So you can only try to change the password and hope that
expiry will be reset.

On the DC this account is set to never expire. When I log with this
account on a Windows workstation, there is no warning, and everything
works OK.



IIRC the password expiry period is 42 days in a default installation.
Do you get any hints other than the fact that the password is expiring?


I remember this happening once in the past, then reseting the password
on the DC helped. Back then I let the period to expire, and I was
locked out of the suse machine, while I was able to log in to a
windows box.

So, your suggestion will solve the current problem, but temporary. It
will happen again. I'm looking for more permanent solution.

I also opened a bug case in novell's bugzilla, but still no comments there.

Anyway,
any help is appreciated, thanks
