AW: [Samba] No error on change to password below configured length

[Stumpfl Markus]

I would set the 'Minimum Password Length' in the 'Local Policy Settings' of
the Clients to the same value as in linux. So if in Linux your users need >=
5 chars, set Minimum Password Length also to 5.

cheers,

Stumpfl Markus
