OK, after sorting out the passwd chat the password changing seems to work
fine - Thanks heaps!

*BUT* it only works if the new password is 5 or more characters - if the
user attempts to set it to 4 or less chars they get the same message as if
they're not allowed to change it...  Since I have password sync turned on
I checked to see whether it was /usr/bin/passwd or smbd insisting on the
min 5 chars - and it is smbd (found by running smbpasswd, not as root).  
So I trawled through the man pages on smbd and smb.conf and found no
mention of the minimal password strength, or how it might be configured.  
Is it documented anywhere?
