After playing with AD samba, kerberos, PAM (some, I dont really know PAM yet) configurations I still have issues with the following: 1. KDE still asks for a username and password when accessing windows shares (unless I statically enter the user pass combination in kcontrol) 2. CUPS needs static username password combination to access windows (samba) printers. 3. Firefox still asks for user;pass when accessing local NTLM pages. (not a OS issue, I know) 4. Evolution saves user;pass in keyring somewhere 5. knetworkmanager saves user;pass in kwallet Everytime our IT admin forces us to change our passwords I have to manually go and change it for all of the above. And if I forget - like with CUPS - and try and print, it locks my account. I know this is a lot harder than it sounds, but why don't all apps just use something like PAM to auth user activity? Why have keyrings, wallets, registries, credentials files, etc? Later, Hans ps. I actually know the answer, but still want to know if anyone else is also annoyed by this?

Yes, and I have to - thats the problem.
