It turns out that the underlying problem is that PAM_SMB has to map the NT
username to a local username.
[/marin] That is incorrect.

It seems that the module has no support for wildcards,
[/marin] I don't understand what you're trying to do. Could you give some
more details.

and I don't want to create an unmanageable list of all the
domain users. (The list would have to be updated every time someone was
added or deleted from the domain.)
[/marin] Again, you don't need to do this. I have successfully configured my
apache server to authenticate against my NT-PDC. I don't have/use such user
list.

As far as I can tell, there are two choices:

-- Hack the module to support wildcards (e.g. ALL NT users -> "default" or
"anonymous" locally)
-- Create ~400 local users, or create the aforementioned list.

Neither choice sounds like a clean solution. Any suggestions?
