samba - Jan 1999 - PAM problem: "no modules loaded for 'samba' service"

I'm running FreeBSD 3.0-current and have just upgraded samba to 2.0.0.
Previously, I used unencrypted passwords. After upgrading, they didn't work
so I changed to use encrypted ones. I can now map my drives from the PC.
However, I still have a number of problems that I think are all related.

- I can't use swat. The authentication always fails. I get a message on the
console "swat: no modules loaded for 'samba' service". This
comes from PAM.
I've never used PAM before so I don't know whether this is a PAM or a
Samba
configuration problem.

- Whenever I map a drive from the PC, I get a similar message to the above
(except with 'swat' replaced by 'smbd'). The mapping works
correctly
however.

- I went throught the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. In test 3, I type "smbclient
-L server" and it asks for my password. I type the correct password for
root (which is who I'm logged in as) and get the message "bad
username/password pair". If I say "smbclient -L server -U root"
and type
the root password, it works.

Thanks for any help,
	Graham

This is not a samba problem (and it looks like FreeBSD uses pam).  
When you do a:

smbclient -L server

and it asks for a password, just hit enter (it doesn't need a 
password).  As for the PAM stuff, I got some PAM errors at first 
too:

Jan 18 08:57:15 rama PAM_pwdb[3743]: 1 authentication failure; 
(uid=0) -> dude for samba service

This crops up in /var/log/messages for every user connection.  I'm 
pretty sure it's just a PAM configuration error, but I haven't 
gotten around to resolving it yet.  Check /etc/pam.d and see what's 
there. (and let me know when you have it fixed ;-)
