[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba Password Aging

[fredjame]

I am not very Samba literate, and then too I think you said the Samba in 
question is on a Win2K box?  I thought Samba (at least on Linux/Unix 
systems) used system level authentication, and therefore the expiration 
of passwords would be a system level thing.  Am I well off base?  If am 
not off base, then on a Linux/Unix system the next thing to read would 
be the man(ual) pages for passwrd.
