Hi,

I am not sure if this a bug or a feature with Samba, but what is
happening here is the LDAP server has the complexities in LDAP, and
changing the Group Policy doesn't seem to have any impact (at least I
wasn't able to fix it). I ended up having to manually edit the LDAP
server.

Sadly I can't remeber how I modified ldap now. It was months ago.
Probably it would be easier to do modify the python script at install time.

Samba does not honour group policy itself (it just hosts it for Windows
clients to apply locally. See the 'net pwsettings' command for the way
to change these settings in the Samba4 domain until this functionality
is extended.
