This caused problems with the authentivication in samba-tng .
So I talked to the samba-tng team and they changed the password
length test in their server.
I don't know if this is the right way to do the authentivication,
to set the length to 0.

The fix is now in the cvs-tree, but they will make soon a
new release.
