Package name : libpam-smb Version : 1.9.9+2.0.0-rc6 Upstream Author : Dave Airlie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/ License : GPL Description : Pluggable Authentication Module authenticating from NT server This is a PAM module, which can verify user passwords from Windows NT servers. It differs from winbind in that it does not require you to have administrative access to the NT domain in order to join it, and in that it does not contain an NSS module to obtain user account information from NT - only passwords. This package is present in woody (version 1.1.6) but was removed in 2003 following maintainer inactivity, and because Steve Langasek asserted that it was obsolete. Certainly winbind is to be preferred in most circumstances but I at least find this package useful because I am unable to get administrative access to the relevant NT domain.
