$ grep ^.defaultMaxPasswordAge /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf 
#defaultMaxPasswordAge="45"
$ smbldap-passwd foobar

Seems like you shouldn't unset the default. :)
Comment 3 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-25 14:48:06 UTC 
Can you please report this to upstream because I really don't see why we should include it directly.
