Hi, I am using samba 3.0.25b and using tdbsam back end. I want to enforce password policy "User must change password on next logon". I assume this can be done by changing "password must change" value in the tdbsam user record using pdbedit. But the below command is not working for me, pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2010-01-01" \ --time-format="%Y-%m-%d" username Though i made it happen using net command. Appreciate if you can give a solution for this :) Reportedly one of the official maintainer of samba how to's claimed it is not working with 3.0.29 too.. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Friday 23 May 2008 06:21:56 am you wrote: > > pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2010-01-01" \ > > --time-format="%Y-%m-%d" username Please file a Bugzilla bug report. It appears to be broken in 3.0.29. I can reproduce the problem. Thanks for making us aware of this. https://bugzilla.samba.org/ - John T. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks in advance, Salam
there is no such option like the one you mentinoned. Forcing a user password change is done by setting pwdLastSet to 0. Afaiks pdbedit has no way to do that, you need to use "net sam set pwdmustchangenow ..."
