I strongly recommend against use of pam_smb. Where you need to authenticate against a Samba password database, look into pam_winbindd, or things like the modification to Heimdal described here: https://sec.miljovern.no/bin/view/Info/HeimdalKerberosSambaAndOpenLdap This last option allows you to then use a very standard pam_krb5 on your unix workstations.
