Hello All,

I have here Debian + Courier-Authdaemon (auth_pam) + pam_ldap.

The system is working fine, but I see a lot of these messages:

authdaemond: Warning: Your password will expire in x (hours, days)..

My system uses PAM_LDAP to lookup users in MS Active Directory, and my doubt is:

how courier-authlib knows that my password is expired in LDAP?

It doesn't. This message is actually coming out of pam_ldap. The binary that opens PAM is authdaemond, that's why the syslog message is tagged as such, but the actual message originates from pam_ldap's bowels.
