You're right. Because samba uses a cryptographic handshake to authenticate, PAM is bypassed. There are possibilities, though. Samba allows you to define login hooks to do whatever you want. Create folders, etc. For manipulating user accounts in LDAP, check out the IdealX scripts that now ship standard with the Samba source code. They are perl scripts that make it easy to add samba stuff to an account. > > Kyle > -- Michael Torrie Assistant CSR, System Administrator Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Brigham Young University Provo, UT 84602 +1.801.422.5771 /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
