Unhappy Expiration account vs. Disabled account

I want to know what the difference between expired account (filed 8 of shadow file) and disabled account using filed 7 of shadow filed.
For example, I have Samba configured like a domain controller. I noticed that when the account is disabled in Linux I could login using the samba user, but when the account expired in Linux I couldnīt login with the Samba user.

is it legitimate and allowed and can be done to make another user account set uid and gid to null 0 to make another root account with different name and possibly not damage the debian system creating and using that new account BenJoBoy Linux - Newbie 12 01-29-2006 10:02 AM
