Hi List. After reading a lot of topics on the list about password policy and locking and samba integration ..., my brain is burning, because I can't get it working. Can someone point me to the right way? A few words about my actual configuration. OS: CentOS 5.1 FDS: 1.1 Samba: 3.x ldap.conf: pam_lookup_policy yes pam_password exop pam_password clear (for password history matching) smb.conf: encrypt passwords = yes obey pam restrictions = no pam password change = no passwd chat debug = Yes ldap passwd sync = no unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u %U passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\spassword:* %n\n . fds: Password policy enabled in "data-tab" plus fine-grained for another sub-tree policy, where the users reside. Thx
