danny, i remember you tellimg me about that.  samba does use pams, but
remember, that's only active whe n" encrypt passwords = no", which doesn't
help with your system.

_however_, there is nothing to stop you now writing your own samrd, which
should be a combined your-own-password-authentication-system with an
_samr*() api on it.
