[Samba] PAM Offline Authentication in Ubuntu 22.04...

>  OK, but... further investigation in what direction?!

Greetings, friends!

Sorry for butting in on the discussion, but I'm also interested in solving
this problem, as users of my project (CID -
https://sourceforge.net/projects/c-i-d/) have also been reporting the same
difficulty.

I've been researching it and it looks like the problem has been around for
a long time and is specific to Debian-like distributions, as these two bug
reports suggest:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1165461
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14618

I tried to make the suggested changes to the "lock directory" and even
adapted it to my scripts, but according to reports the users, it doesn't
always work.

I've tested other distributions, like Fedora and OpenSuse, and everything
seems to work just fine.

I stopped researching some time ago, so I can't contribute more than that,
but I hope that at least I helped them to find a way to a solution.

Good luck!
