[389-users] shadowLast Change NOT updating was Re: ldappasswd and shadowLastChange attribute

[James Smallacombe]

Thanks for your reply, Jason.  I am a bit of a noob here, but I went to 
the DirServ console and:

(Example) -> People did a right-click on it, then -> Set Access 
Permissions and saw the 6 default ACIs.  I edited "Allow self entry 
modifications" and checked "shadowLastChange".  Since this was only for 
"Self" and these mods are done either by root in the shell, or the apache 
user in the web plugin, I didn't really expect it to help.  So, I create a 
custom ACI:

Selected ALL users, then unchecked all targets, then re-checked 
"shadowLastChange" and a few others.

Still no luck.  Although I'm not up on ACIs, in all cases I am binding to 
the server as the Directory Manager, so doesn't that mean the ACI 
shouldn't matter?

Thanks again,
