Two things: - there is no such thing as pamsmbd to my knowlege. - use of pam_smb is a bad idea anyway: - it is a GPL'ed PAM module, - it is insecure (vunrable to spoofing) - it is slow: it must connect to the PDC once per authenticaion. Samba 2.2.5 and above provide 'pam_winbind', which uses winbindd to do the same thing, without any of these problems. Samba HEAD adds 'winbind use default domain', where users don't need to 'prefix' their username like so 'domain\username'.
