I have a Samba 3.0.3 system setup with LDAP. I can set the "min password length" in smb.conf and the system will respect that but when changing the password from win2k and giving it a smaller password than set it always display "password must be a minimum of 5 characters" It will display this even if "min password length" is set to 7. You won't actually be able to have a password less than 7 but it confuses the hell out of our users. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a bug in Samba? -- George Farris farrisg@mala.bc.ca Malaspina University-College - Cowichan Campus
