The way I do this is via the 'check password script' option.  If you see
the smb.conf manpange, there is the example usage.  The crackcheck
source is in example/auth in your samba tarball.

This checks for password complexity (and is very nasty, also no
dictionary words etc), but not difference - that is configured in the
account policy.  I think that's all documented in the Guide.
