samba - Mar 2002 - Linking login and SAMBA on a PDC

I think this is primarily a PAM question, but here goes...

I've had success in setting up my Linux box as a PDC.  I've also had
success
in setting up the Linux box to use another PDC for password authentication
(SMB, FTP, login, ssh, etc).  But I can't seem to get both to coexist.  I
would like my Linux box to serve as the PDC and have all password
authentication pass through SMB.  Is this possible?


Thanks -

Darin

Using HEAD, I run pam_winbind (and therefore winbind) on my DC, which
achives the desired effect (setting 'winbind use default domain = yes'
in smb.conf and not using nss_winbind).  You could also (and it would
probably also make much more sense) use pam_smbpass to read the passdb
directly.
