samba - Dec 2004 - (/usr/bin/passwd %u) requires a '%u' parameter

Hello,
When I configuring  samba 3.0.8 as a PDC. When I run the testparm command, I get
the error:
Error: the 'passwd program' (/usr/bin/passwd %u) requires a '%u'
parameter. I have tried to find a solution for this problem and knew, it is a
bug. If it is a bug, how can I solve this problem?

Cheers

It was a bogus error message that has been corrected in 3.0.9.
