Really quick, and really ugly hack is to make Samba call the pam

Hmmm. This sounds like it could very well work, and may only require a few lines of code to implement. Then Samba would increment the failed logon counter via pam_tally...

I'll do a little hacking here in the next day or two, and let you know how it works when I test it....

Thanks for the tip!
