Hello, I have managed to solve this myself by moving up the 'pam_cifscreds' session entry in PAM's 'common-session' directly after the 'pam_keyinit' line: session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke debug session optional pam_cifscreds.so host=cifsserver.ourdomain debug session sufficient pam_unix.so session required pam_ldap.so use_first_pass I should have read Orion's original description more closely. Thanks for your continued efforts that make my life easier.
