SAMBA works fine on Caldera OpenLinux 1.1 without specifying either shadow
or PAM passwords when compiling SAMBA.  Caldera 1.2 changed something which
requires SAMBA be compiled with PAM support.

Caldera OpenLinux 1.1 uses PAM, but has shadow passwords turned off by
default.  To turn shadow password on without installing any other software
requires adding the shadow keyword to /etc/pam.d/passwd, and manually
creating the initial /etc/passwd file with something like these (passwords
changed to protect the innocent):

root:xxxxxxxx:10118:0:10000:0:0:0:12
col:xxxxxxxx:10118:0:10000:0:0:0:12

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are
men who want rain without thunder and lightning.  They want the ocean
without the roar of its many waters.
