I've set user passwords to never expire, but all shares using the Advanced File Services expire in around 40+ days. Help me please, I'm so confused!

use the user manager tool that comes with AFPS and configure the user's password to never expire... or if you have an NT box, you can use the same tool to edit the user's on the SCO box. that's the easiest.
 
Do yourself a favour and get/use samba...
APFS and Vision were ok attempts but neither are as easy to use as samba.


:)
 
I've been using the built in SCO AFPS GUI to set up passwords, but the user never logs directly onto the SCO domain as a user. He only logs onto a share on the SCO domain from a NT domain that I've set up using a two way trust.
I've never heard of Samba, what is it and where can I get it?
Thanks,
Brian
 
you can always use the following command:

net user {name} {password} /expires:never

use net help user for more info
 
net user {name} {password} /expires:never
I will try the above, but is there a difference between a client/local logon/password and a mapped share password?
Thanks for your responses,
Brian
 
Sorry for the delay in responding... Not that I'm aware of.
It will depend on whether you are running AFPS as the Primary or Secondary Domain controller or as a stand-alone.
