[Samba] linux client auth failure against PDC

subject: linux client auth to samba pdc fails

I have a problem getting linux clients to authenticate against a Samba PDC.
/etc/pam.d/system-auth

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so debug

/etc/pam_smb.conf

none

When I try to logon to the linux client machine with a username and
password stored in samba I get the following error message in
/var/log/samba/%m.logfile [2005/11/17 14:21:53, 2]
smbd/server.c:exit_server(609)
  Closing connections

exist.
[2005/11/17 14:21:53, 3] smbd/server.c:exit_server(652)
  Server exit (normal exit)

I need help fixing this.  The goal is to have a Samba PDC server that will
authenticate both windwos and linux clients using the same password. 
Windows clients rely on the samba PDC for user info, authentication, user
network shares, etc.  And Linux clients rely on ldap for user info
(/etc/password type stuff), nfs for access to user network share, and samba
for authentication.  This setup works on our old platform; RH9, samba
2.something, ldapV2.2.13 but I cannot get smb auth to work for the linux
clients.

Any help?

My apologies for poor etiquette in posting this to
samba-technical at lists.samba.org and samba at lists.samba.org

Thanks,
