Got it up and running in under 5 minutes (including compile, but not
download time ;-)
- downloaded the source RPM for pam_smb from rpmfind
- built it in a few seconds
- installed the RPM
- changed the conf file acording to instructions
- changed /etc/pam.d/login not acording to instructions :
changed just the second auth lines - the rest remained unchanged
- created a new user with a user name that exists in a the PDC (didn't set
up a password)
- logged in using that user
notes :
setting the nolocal option causes 2 things -
1. any user that doesnt exist in the local password file still can't log on,
because getpwnam() fails
2. the root can't login (unless there exist a user "root" in the PDC) ;-)
aside from that - works great.
