Hello Andrew, I'm a little stuck with my login authentication for my Samba 3 box. With the new features in Samba 3 - Should I be able to provide username@domain & password at login that would authenticate me against our W2K ADS PDC and obtain my kerberos ticket? Please advise on the suggested way to authenticate against our Active Directory domain at login if I'm way off base on this one. I have included my /etc/pam.d/login & system-auth for your review. Thank you very much, Tim /etc/pam.d/login #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022 ******************************************************************* /etc/pam.d/system-auth #%PAM-1.0 # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run. auth required /lib/security/pam_env.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_krb5.so use_first_pass auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_err=ignore] /lib/security/pam_ldap.so account [default=bad success=ok user_unknown=ignore service_err=ignore system_err=ignore] /lib/security/pam_krb5.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 typepassword sufficient /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok password sufficient /lib/security/pam_krb5.so use_authtok password sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_authtok password required /lib/security/pam_deny.so session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so session required /lib/security/pam_unix.so session optional /lib/security/pam_krb5.so session optional /lib/security/pam_ldap.so **********************************************************************
