Now for Samba with PAM to work the documentation says that you can't have encrypted passwords enabled!
So does that mean that I can't set up Samba has a PDC and use PAM to authenticate the users!
Reason I ask is I did have Samba set up as a PDC with 3 windows client computers, 2 with Windows 2000, one with Windows XP!
I then deciced to try and use PAM so I went into the registry of the 3 clients and set it to enableplaintextpasswords = 1
And I set Samba to plain text passwords and to obey pam restrictions!
Pam now works Ie if I change the password with smbpasswd the unix password is changed as well!
But the problem I'm having is!
When a I logon to the domain, My username and Password are excepted but then I get a message on windows saying that it couldn't access my profile and will use a local profile, also it mentions that the username and password might not be correct! Once I have the windows desktop I can't access my home network drive (The one that you set Samba to), but if I go into the network area and access the domain there and then access the server it asks for my username and password and voila it works I can access the profiles and home shares!
Here is my smb.conf file
