[Samba] 3.0.1x, min password lenght deprecated, smbpasswd

2005-01-28 Thread Thomas Bork
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.

It's an account policy.  Use pdbedit to set the value.
That's why the smb.conf optionwas deprecated. It was at
odds with the defined account policy.

Thank you. Found the description in the pdbedit man page.
