[Samba] domain pswd policy? single-sign on?

I've set up a samba domain controller and am reading that PAM
authentication modules (cracklib) cannot be used with encrypted passwords
in Samba.  Is there any way to enforce password policies then for samba
accounts? (i.e. min length 8 chars, letters+nums+special, new pswd not
similiar to last pswd)

Also, is there any way to do a single signon with samba accounts with
encrypted passwords? (permit samba/domain authenticated users to access
their pop/smtp services on another unix server)

I currently only have restriced unix accounts (no shell, no home dir,
account disabled) setup on the PDC just to create the samba users, there
is currently no need for them to access any unix services on the samba
domain server.

thanks, peace
