Samba passwords
 
I have a Samba server which is running as a PDC and it is working well.
I have setup in the global section the following password settings

unix password sync = yes
pam password change = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

I have tested it from a Windows 98 clinet and was able to change the samba
password from the workstation and relogon to both the workstation and the
server.

I have 2 questions

1. Is it possible to set something up on the server that will force the user to
change their password as well as give the user warning notifications
of their need to change their passwords

2. When a user password is changed can the change be passed to a
Windows NT 4.0 workstation that is functioning as a print server for a plotter.

I can force the users to have to change their passwords locally on a Windows
2000 system ad make sure the changes are made on the samba server
as well. But since we have several 98 workstations and for easier central
administration I would like to set it up from the server for everyone to
have to change their passwords and have it change it on all systems

The password expire time and dialogues are part of Samba-tng.
This is the fork of Samba rewritten for PDC use..
