The smb.conf file has no surprises, just changes to Workgroup and a 
couple of shares outside of the normal home directories.

Using straight passwd auth in Linux.  Using smbpasswd for Samba.  The 
new database oriented passdb.tdb file for Samba has no documentation, 
and that's the one that controls access to SMB shares.  The user is on 
Win2K and has had to be reset every month for a while.  I just can't 
seem to find any Samba docs that mention aging, but something is 
decidely making his (and only his) password expire.
