Sorry to be a thicko but I've never quite worked out what a "correct
pam.d/samba" is! We use NIS for passwd maps and whenever I've used a samba
RPM (built with PAM as I suspected) I get a delay during authentication
while PAM has a think and says nope - don't know him before the match in
the NIS is found. I usually end up building from source as a result. Are
there any repositories of pam.d/samba's for particular setups?
Cheers,
Martin
