Del,
Thanks heaps for your help!
The problem wasn't with PAM all this time, it was the fact there was
getpwnam() in the program I was using. If getpwnam() didn't work then it
would exit.
I got shitted with winbind is not working at all now that I broke it
futher by removing the NT workstation account before adding it again in
troubleshooting so I went back to where I was before I tried to use PAM.
I removed getpwnam from the checkpassword replacement that is based on
msntauth from squid. It didn't work so I did a extracted a patch from it
against the version of msntauth it was based on.
Using the patchfile I created I patched version 2.0 of msntauth that came
with the latest squid. The after commenting out the subroutine that used
getpwnam the bitch finally worked. YAY :-)
I'll revisit samba-tng/winbindd in the future when my level of patience
and frustration is restored :-)
