[Samba] Strange error message when a user can't change password

Hello,
I'm trying to set up samba as a PDC.
The current version of samba is samba-server-2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk
from Mandrake 9.0 RC3.
I want password sync'ing between smbpasswd and shadow.
I've set it up so that password rules are enforced
(i.e. the new password must not be in a dictionary),
and smb.conf has a "min passwd length" set to 5.
Everything works great, the users can change their
passwords.
However, if a user selects a password that is too short,
he/she will get a misleading error message saying that
the _old_ password is wrong.
This occurs both when the user is on a w2k machine or
on a win95 machine.
How do I set it up so that the user is given
a better error message?
Mogens
