The work around That I have developed for this is diagramed as follows:
------------ ----------- -----------------------------------
| linux |<--->| samba 2 |<---->| Samba 3 user info, passwords |
| clients | | Server | | Server File share |
------------ | authN | -----------------------------------
----------- ^
|
------------ |
| Windows |<---------------------------------/
| Clients |
------------
After countless configurations, rebuild and even OS reinstalls from
square one I got the above to work. Samba 2 server acts as a domain
member server and passes user auth to the samba 3 server.
I do not know how this relates but as I stated in previous posts, if I
try to authenticate linus directly against Samba 3 using Pam module the
following error shows in the samba log
[2005/11/17 14:21:53, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(76)
yield_connection: tdb_delete for name failed with error Record
does not exist.
When I investigate user info with pdbedit I see the the NT username
value is blank. I have seen posting that state it is an unused value.
Maybe it is not related at all, but it makes me curious...
Thanks,
BTW, pam_winbindd is not an option.

I am having trouble getting pam_smb_auth.so to work with the latest
version of samba. It was working with the 2.* versions but when I tried
to upgrade to Samba 3 authentication fails on the client.
I do not know if I need to reconfigure samba to work with
pam_smb_auth.so, I have tried man options. Please also refer to:
You mention that you are thinking of using pam_winbindd. I strongly
suggest that option.
