Hi Everybody,
           We are upgrading to samba-3.0.2a with SEAM kerberos and iPlanet Directory 
ldap server support. All the three servers runs in three different physical solaris 
machies.  We are able to connect the samba and ldap.  We are trying with security=user 
option in samba . For kerberos support, we thought of a solution of authentication via 
pam -pamkrb5 module. but samba fails for a pam authentication and it never contacts 
the kerberos server. actually we traced out the function calls which tries for 
authentication,  which sends a pam handler with null passwords for authentication. 
pls refer source/auth/auth.c and source/auth/pampass.c which has functions like 
smb_pam_accountcheck in which pam_acctmgmt() sending a pamhandler pointer pamh.
 
The samba code has pointer pamh  referring to the sturucture called pam_handle_t . For 
the structure pam_handle_t , we found a type definition pam_handle in 
security/pam_appl.h . and no more information in pam_handle is available. Is the 
solaris pam modules lacks some files or our installation of solaris lacks some files?

Any suggestions to proceed with pam authentication would be really helpful
regards
eccsamba
