You should ask for the main ( head ) branch source code.  BRANCH_NTDOM
is dead.  See question 2.1 in the FAQ.

[Question 6.1] Also the smbpasswd -j <NTDOMAIN> is used in conjunction
with th new "security = domain" option not yet available in the main
distribution.  It's in testing stages.  See the NT Domain FAQ for more
information.  It's linked off the main samba site.

Someone else will have to respond to the PAM questions.




Hope this helps,
