[Samba] Problems with Samba and Windows 2003 Active Domain Server

[Akshay Guleria]

may be the following helps:
instead of editing /etc/pam.d/login, change only
/etc/pam.d/system-auth. there are othersmall changes that you need to
do in the indivisual files too.
here are mine:

/etc/pam.d/system-auth:
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_env.so

smb.conf is another place for errors. but will post that if this does not help.
