Public bug reported:
from the smb.conf man page:
check password script (G)
The name of a program that can be used to check password complexity.
The password is
sent to the program's standard input.
The program must return 0 on a good password, or any other value if
the password is
bad. In case the password is considered weak (the program does not
return 0) the user
will be notified and the password change will fail.
Problem: The script does not get executed. Whatever is configured here,
the script is not being touched and so the option is useless.
The execution of this script should be logged with log level 5 but it
isn't. It also does not give an error if the script cannot be found.
Testparm warns, however, if you misspell the check password option.
This has been working two months ago when I was testing it, but now that
the password policy must be enforced it is not.
