There is a comment in those directions about installing a SMB PAM

6. Install the SMB PAM module
Add the below line to the end of /etc/pam.conf:
other password required pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn
Do you know what that is?
It's part of the Solaris CIFS server, and its purpose is to
permit you to store passwords in a form useful to CIFS.
The regular passwords are stored with one-way encryption,
and CIFS needs the plain text to encrypt a different way
for interoperability. The PAM module sees the password as
it is changed, and will store it for CIFS purposes.
