Nope.

In fact, you don't need it at all, unless you want logons on the Unix
box to be authenticated against Samba or NT.  There is a pam module
(pam_ntdom ?) with Samba that you simply slot into your pam config
(/etc/pam.d, I think). Full instructions on configuring it are in
``source/pam_ntdom/README''.

There is also some code in the nsswitch directory that allows a Unix
box to lookup users, groups etc in the NT Domain.  Say a big thanks to
Sun for designing PAM and nsswitch so that the Linux and GNU people
could copy them.  :-)

Paul.
