the following

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets
*               *       &/home/samba/smbpasswd          *

it seems that every thinks work very well, but I don't no how to let samba

to solve this problem without any seccus

samba to expireing the password, do you have that procedure(how to expire
users password), I appreciate you help
