 Why is this happening? Is there any limitation for

 we would like to limit to 14 chars but we don't know 
 of any consequences.

Our bug.  Fixed in 3.0.23rc1.

[Samba] Enabling a user w/ more than 14 char passwd prompts for a password.

[Warren Beldad]

I noticed recently why our app will always go time out when enabling a
certain user.
Then we found out that enabling back a user with more than 14 char passwd
will prompt for a new password.

I have created a user with a password of 15 characters...
then disable:
-bash-3.00# smbpasswd -d user1
Disabled user user1.

Enable:
-bash-3.00# smbpasswd -e user1
New SMB password:

Why is this happening? Is there any limitation for the number of password
characters?
we would like to limit to 14 chars but we don't know of any consequences.

thanks,
warren
