Samba has no 'support team', but the samba at samba.org mailing list can
sometimes help.

Basically, it doesn't work.  You can use plaintext passwords, in which
case it's just like any other PAM app.  

You can set up our --with-ldapsam support to use a Novell server, but
you don't get any password sync stuff from the Novell side, as far as I
can tell. 

I'm interested in doing work to make this work closer with Novell's own
'SMB password' support - they have much the same problem with their own
SMB server.  I was doing this for a consulting client, but their
timetable got put back, so don't count on anything happening soon.
