Failed to modify UNIX password: shadowMax: value #0 invalid per syntax at /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd line 285, <STDIN> line 2. [root@myserver ~]# The problem seems to stem from 2 things: 1) I have no defaultMaxPasswordAge set in smbldap.conf. However, this has never been a problem in the past, and isn't stated as being a required setting. If possible, I'd like to keep maximum password ages diabled. 2) smbldap-passwd is trying to change attributes to the users account which don't exist. If I'm reading the code correctly, it's attempting to set 3 attributes which don't apply to the samba schema: userPassword, shadowLastChange, and shadowMax. They only apply to the nis schema, which we do not use. I apologize if I'm misconfiguring something, however as I stated, this worked fine in 0.9.2.

Seems as though the problem revolves around smbldap-passwd trying to set shadowMax when no defaultMaxPasswordAge has been set in smbldap.conf. I have attached a simple patch which seems to resolve the issue without any side-effects.

Sorry. That was incorrect. Somehow I missed the nis.schema include line in my slapd.conf, which obviously has shadowMax. So my bug subject is inaccurate, however the problem is still relevant. The new description should probably be "smbldap-passwd tries to set shadowMax even though defaultMaxPasswordAge is not defined". Does my patch make sense? Thanks!

See: https://gna.org/bugs/?10230 I've put together some packages for various Fedora releases at: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/sysutils/ The packages there are basically the same as the one I've just built for Rawhide. If they seem OK, I'll push them as updates for F8 and F-9.
