For me this is new information. Could this be nice information to put in
the Swat man page or in the docs that comes with samba? Once I tried to
setup Swat on a RH linux box but I couldn't get it to work. Because it
wasn't very important and that I had done what the docs told me to I
gave up. Now it seems that I have found the answer why it didn't work.

If it isn't going to be transparent to the user that he have to use or
is using pam, I really like to see some info in the docs about this.

Thanks!
