Don't know, can't help with that one.

I'm successfully using pam_ntdom here, and was using pam_smb with similar
success. The machines are dual-boot Linux/Win98, and I have no problems.

I'm told that if the machine were to boot into NT as well as Linux, then it
would have to have a different netbios name under NT than it has under
Linux. Something to do with NT periodically changing it's domain password or
something.
