samba - Feb 2002 - Need PAM to use winbind in Solaris 8?

I'm just curious to see if I'm fighting an uphill battle that isn't
really
necessary.  Is anyone out there NOT using PAM, running Samba and winbind on
Solaris 8?  Maybe my problems are related to my attempt to keep it simple
and not use pam.

Nothing in winbind requires PAM.  pam_winbind just provides an
authenticaion service that may or may not be needed at your site - and
is not used by Samba itself.
