I thought about doing this too but there's a big downside as stated in /usr/local/share/doc/samba/htmldocs/PAM-Authentication-And-Samba.html in= that: Note that Samba always ignores PAM for authentication in the case of encrypt passwords =3D yes. The reason is that PAM modules cannot support= the challenge/response authentication mechanism needed in the presence of SMB password encryption. This would defeat interoperability with some Windows clients in standard= configuration. Regards, Neil Darlow M.Sc.
