The min password length in smb.conf is for unix password, you must modify the parameter with this command $ pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 3 ----------------------------------- Stéphane PURNELLE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Service Informatique Corman S.A.

I need to change them! I need to allow for passwords as short as 3 characters. I've changed my unix rules to allow users using passwd to change their password correctly but samba will not. I'm using encrypted passwords so min password length = 3 doesn't do anything, right? I keep getting RAP86 errors and the log says password too short account policy min password len = 5 How do I change this to 3 - do I need to recompile? If so what file needs to change?
