Yes, the purpose of the 'winbind' package is to provide integration with a Windows domain or AD realm; that extends to enabling pam_winbind by default now that this is supported.
Of course, any problems this causes for you being able to use your local system accounts is a bug. BTW, the idiomatic way to change this is by running 'sudo pam-auth- update' instead - shorter to type :) ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Summary changed: - passwd - can't login, change password + passwd - can't login, change password (pam_winbind pam-auth-update profile) -- passwd - can't login, change password (pam_winbind pam-auth-update profile) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546874 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
