PDC & 2.0.7 ...

[David Bannon]

Woops, comes from looking at two messages at the same time. The answer I
just posted assumes (never assume...) that the origional question asker is
using a PAM capable system, ie Linux or Solaris (and possibly HP, is that
right ??).

Seeing a couple of posts recently from people a bit sensitive about that
sort of assumption, I thought I better be careful.

Yep, 2.0.7 will do that fine. I use pam_smb to authenticate a number of
different services on a number of different servers, all refering back to a
samba based PDC password list (/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd).
