samba - Feb 2002 - Almost all working, except for "[: too many arguments" on samba login

I've fixed my WINS server problems (long story) got all my
"wbinfo"'s
working, along with creating home directories and everything, but now I
have 1 problem and one question.

1. whenever a user logs in with a winbind user account, it says "[: too
many arguments"  This only started since I added a line in system.auth
for the pam_mkhomedirs.so to make the directories.  If I remove that
line, I still get the error.  Can I safely ignore it, or is it a symptom
of a big problem?

2.  I'm running redhat 7.2.  Is there anway to avoide having to add
winbind.so to all of the \etc\pam.d\* files?  I thought there was a
single file you could edit to change them all?


Also, thanks to all the samba members!  Now that I've got 2.2.3a
working, I'm amazed at what open source can accomplish :)

It depends on what is in the dir that pam_mkhomdir was using for its
skeleton, and some (possibly) dodgy shell scripting in there.  Do your
usernames have spaces?

/etc/pam.d/system-auth
