samba - Feb 2006 - Fwd: WINBIND security methods does not load

Hmm, I am not sure why this worked, but I moved my WINBIND stanza in
/usr/lib/security/methods.cfg up in the file prior to the PAM stanza,
and save it.  After this, I was able to load the module.  Any ideas on
why this worked?

I cannot load WINBIND for some reason anymore since some time yesterday
morning.  I used to not be able to remove WINBIND or copy over it
because it would say it is in use, but now I can, which shows it is not
in use.  In addition, lsuser -R WINBIND does not load the module.  What
can I do to help determine why this is not loading?

Because aix will scan methods.cfg sequentially starting with the
first entry and use the first one that satisfies the options
defined in /etc/security.

You don't really need pam and it makes a lot of sense to get pam
working on aix without samba first if you want to go that way.
