Acces with cached credentials

[Guest]

Hi out there
I have a simple question - how long is cached credentials pr. default valid
in a windows environment ?
The cause for the question is a small windows nt4 domain where the PDC
(single and only) has gone forever - no backup neither - and the dealer is
now pretty happy even though they no PDC - they can still logon to their
workstations and have all vitale services local - the password is set to
never expiere. If there is no need for them to add new users or change
passwords etc will the cached credentiels ever expiere ?
