samba - Aug 2006 - samba3, srvtools, and user account with no password

hello, i've just finished in setuping my simple samba pdc (no ldap, just  
tdbsam), everything work, i can create account from a xp client with  
srvtools, modify propoerties of a user/groupe, no problem.

but but, i'm unable to let account with no password, i mean, when i'm  
creating/modify an account with srvtools, i've got the error "access  
denied", but when i put one, even if it's an one letter password, it
works.

please, help me!

i'm using debian 3.1,
i put "null passwords = yes", "min password length = 0" in
smb.conf
in common-password in pam:"password required pam_unix.so nullok min=0  
max=8 md5"

i'm lost ....

In smb.conf is a null passwords option.... it defaults to no.

It's a security risk... but if you want it then set "null passwords
yes"

i've already set the "null passwords = yes"
it's quite strange. i've thought of a linux passwd problem, more than
smb
problem, but i'm not sure.
how to find?
