Alex,

  according with my understanding using ....

   security = server/domain
   password server = <your password server> 
 or 
   password server = *
(yes literal star ) 

  will attempt to authenticate the user against a PDC
and will search for the user in the /etc/passwd file,
if the user does not exists then one could be created,
provided that you configured the "add user script"
correctty.

  no authentication will be done against the local
host security.

regards,
esv.

Subject: [Samba] Configuring PAM

We're using Samba 2.2.2 on AIX (RS/6000) with NT
authentication.  We 
only
want to authenticate at the PDC, and if they pass,
they'll be able to 
map
to whatever shares have been assigned to their
Workgroup...we need to
bypass any authentication at the AIX level.  From the
limited 
documentation
(PAM-authenication-and-Samba.html) , it almost looks
like PAM will
accomplish this task.  Is anyone using PAM for this
reason, and if so, 
is
there more detailed documentation on PAM?  Thank you.
