Well, under 2.8 it didn't work until I installed that library. Maybe a 
quirk with my setup.  No biggie, your statement is certainly true for 3.0.

I was using obey pam restrictions because I had the line:

session         required        pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022

in pam.d/samba, in order to autocreate home directories when users 
accessed via smb.  Setting "obey pam restrictions" to no (or commenting 
it out) fixed the access problem I was having (Thanks very much!) but 
now home directories aren't being autocreated.  This is minor and will 
probably only result in mild annoyance on the part of my users, but if 
anyone knows of a way I can have my cake and eat it too, please do tell!
