Thanks Mikko - pieced the 3 links you sent and got new configs...
Well..I have successfully got the PAM files so NT users can login from the
terminal as well as through the samba shares (no local users required),
including using the NT groups to provide share level permissions.
Now here is the next battle:
1. I can not access the shares using the linux local accounts
--> recieve: the credentials supplied confilict with an exisitng set
of credentials
is this another PAM configuration problem?
2. I can't configure the homes directory to be a default path (ie path =
/home/userfile)
--> recieve: the specified network password is not correct
--> creating this as a standard [userfile] share with read only
allowed works
any help would be appreciated

Mikko..you hit the nail on the head with the PAM configuration...
I will fiddle around with those sites to try to get i going (I already
locked myself out once...wonderful!)
If any one has working pam config files that they could post or email, that
would be great.
Does one need to restart a pam service after changes are made? If so..how?

Hi,
Yes it's possible to authenticate users from win 2000 server with
winbind. For me
the PAM configuration was the hardest part. I used mandrake 9 and it has
a realy
good pre config. And if you want to modify the folder/file permissions
from NT/W2k
PDC then don't use ReiserFS as the filesystem. Use either EXT3 or XFS.
Mayby the
ReiserFS 4 will have the ACL support.
I have had dificulties with suse and samba. Like my suse8 home server
needs a restart
after 2 days and I don't know the reason why. I just lose the connection
to the samba.
So the winbind part was easy to make work in mandrake 9, just need to
config smb.conf
right and thats about it. The PAM is a bit harder (to me at least). PAM
is the key for the
linux end to understand to use the winbind connection. If not correctly
cinfigured it can't
get the authentication from the Win NT/2k PDC.
Here are some links that was helpful for me.

Hope these help
