[Samba] 3.0.1x, "min password lenght" deprecated, smbpasswd
Hallo @all, since 3.0.10 parameter "min password lenght" is deprecated. If removing the entry from smb.conf, the default of "min password lenght = 5" is used. smbpasswd uses this entry if creating or changing passwords. How can I set a min password lenght of 2 characters without the deprecated parameter when the passdb backend is smbpasswd? Think "min password lenght" will be removed in the next releases. der tom

It was at odds with the defined account policy. cheers, jerry ====================================================================Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
