samba - Jul 1999 - samba - passwords MD5

Hi all

I've just installed 3.2-RELEASE FreeBSD with MD5 passwords, but
it seems samba is unable to authenticate users on the machine:

smbclient //atlas/jpsp -d 5 -U jpsp
[ ...... lots of debug output ........ ]
Session setup failed for username=jpsp myname=OBERON destname=ATLAS
ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or
Session Setup are invalid.)
You might find the -U, -W or -n options useful
Sometimes you have to use `-n USERNAME' (particularly with OS/2)
Some servers also insist on uppercase-only passwords

And the server says :

Jul  6 21:23:13 atlas smbd: no modules loaded for `samba' service

Does anyone have  samba-2.0.3  running with MD5 passwords ?
What's that 'module' samba is talking about ?

Any help at this point would be appreciated,
Joao Pagaime

PS: all other services seem to work fine (qpopper,etc),
but I'm stuck on this one...

Yes, and it works. However, the last time I tried, you couldn't just install
using the Samba makefile, you need to patch things so that Samba doesn't
attempt to use PAM for authentication (FreeBSD has some sort of PAM support,
but apparently not the kind Samba is looking for - Samba Team: any chance of
making Samba not use PAM on FreeBSD until it is known that it will work?).
For this reason, the easiest way to get things working is to install Samba
from the ports collection. If you don't want to do this, you can at least
locate the patches you need in the Samba port definition.

Oh, and of course, you might have better luck if you install the latest
version of Samba...

for 2.0.4 we changed configure.in so that Samba only uses PAM if you
use the --with-pam configuration option.
