[Samba] Trouble authenticating clients from ADS domain on Samba 3.0.5 file

[Chris Goff]

Hmm, Slackware doesn't support PAM due to security issues. I tried
installing the RPM anyway (somewhat of a no-no on Slackware boxes), but it
didn't seem to effect anything (still getting a login/pass prompt on WinXP
clients attempting to login, and when entering a login/pass it doesn't
take it).

Looking at some Samba manuals it looks like I can autheticate using LDAP
instead of PAM. Anyone know if this is possible/feasible?
