Use pam_winbind instead of pam_smb_auth; pam_smb_auth doesn't leverage
the more secure NT-style communications, relying instead on basic
Win9x-style authentication.

Otherwise, PAM is probably as good as anything else at present.  The one
thing PAM can never give you is MS-CHAP support, but this is a
theoretical distinction only, since freeradius MS-CHAP support currently
doesn't interface with NT domains.
