samba - Aug 2005 - quality of password protection

We need a solution for our samba server  about password regulations. We
want to force the user to change the password in a defined timetable and
to give the password a defined minimum of length. Do we need a special
software modul or is there an another possibility in connection with
Suse 9.2 and Sambaserver 3.0923?

Take a look at

# man pdbedit

'User must change password after 60 days (days*3600*24)
# pdbedit -P "maximum password age" -C 5184000

'Mininum password length to 5 characters
pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 5
