samba - Oct 2005 - winbind authentication with domain offline

Hi,

this is actually more a pam question I believe, but I guess you'll
know enought about it to answer my question. I would like to enable
domain logins on some linux laptops, like I do on the desktops. This
works great when the domain is online, but when users are off site
login still has to work of course. Is there a way to enable winbind
login, but do a fallback on a cached password when the user is off
site?

Regards,
Leen Toelen

Not with winbindd. We don't cache credentials currently.
But you might want to look at padl's caching pam module
which was designed for this type of application.
