The function 'number_to_string' is supposed to convert a number into a string. Unfortunately the decimal separator used is the one set by regional settings. And for a french guy like me it is a comma instead of a dot. So I create a dirty way to get rid of that : on decimal_separator() if (4.2 as string = "4.2") then return "." else return "," end if end decimal_separator on number_to_string(theNumber) set theNumber to theNumber as string if theNumber contains "E+" then set x to the offset of decimal_separator() in theNumber set y to the offset of "+" in theNumber [...] Ok, I found the real issue...

Sep 15, 2009 issue 7 (ARD Integration) commented on by reed.laughlin - The com.thomsontown.pwdmon.plist file can be modified with the defaults command, which can be pushed out via ARD, or you could just push the plist file itself out. However, the app doesn't seem to look for an already existing preference file in /Library/Preferences when it doesn't find one in ~/Library/Preferences. I think that is a defect, not sure if that is what you are referring to or not. I guess I might as well submit a ticket on that.

Jun 15, 2009 issue 6 (AD policy and Keychain password) reported by roeland.de.windt - I haven't tried PEM yet, but have a couple of questions beforehand. 1. How does the manual setting for "After how many days are you required..." influence an Active Directory Policy that's set to 90 days? What if PEM is set lower? Shouldn't the setting be grayed-out if an AD policy is found? 2. If "Display Expiration Notice..." is set, and the users chooses to change at the login prompt (is this possible?), will PEM also change the User's Keychain password? Or do I still need a tool like KeychainMinder? Thank you, Roel I haven't tried PEM yet, but have a couple of questions beforehand. 1.

You can get the password age using the pwpolicy command line tool, like so: % pwpolicy -u testuser -n /LDAPv3/myserver.example.com --get-effective-policy Look for passwordLastSetTime, which I think is in seconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970).
