Because it doesn't work; at least not without hacking every Windows client. [Does that even still work anymore? I don't know, it really is not a reasonable/maintainable thing to do]. You need to either setup an LDAP DSA and use that for authentication and have Samba use that too (as a DC). Or setup Samba as a NT4 PDC and use that for authentication. PAM is, practically speaking, a lost cause for Windows clients - for technical/implementation reasons it can't work well. -- OpenGroupware developer: awill...@whitemice.org <http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/> OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ <http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view>
