Password expiry in Samba v3.0 I'm trying to setup a Samba server which asks new users to change their password on their first login and makes passwords expire after 90 days. I was able to setup the 90 days expiry date but the `--pwd-must-change-time` doesn't work. The verbose shows as the data was changed but when I run `-Lv` it still shows the “must change time” for 90 days ahead.

I found a solution to my original question.

At first you can set up the 90-day-expiration policy like I did.


sudo pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C *time-in-seconds*


Then in order to make the user change his password at first login just type


sudo net sam set pwdmustchangenow *user* yes


The problem I'm having now is that Windows does not allow a user to change their password. It only alerts them that they need to change their password. I'm posting a new question about this new error.
