samba - Nov 2002 - "obey pam restrictions" and encrypted passwords

Hello everybody,

I?m using Red Hat 7.3 with Samba setup as a PDC, and
I?m having a doubt.

I am studying the directive "obey pam restrictions"
because I would like to limit the number of logins
with the same id. The documentation provided by SWAT
tells me that encrypted passwords (like used by
Windows98SE) will NOT follow these restrictions.

Anybody could tell me if this information is really
valid? If yes, there is any other way for me to setup
Samba PDC server to do not allow more than one login
with the same ID?

Thanks,

Encrypted passwords will not obey any restrictions that are set for the
'auth' part of PAM.  I just can't work. (What would you send as the
password?)

However, it can obey restrictions set under account or session, and that
is what this option enables.
