Or have "plaintext passwords = yes" or "encrypted passwords = no" ... something like that in samba (so that it uses plain text passwords.. check the man page on smb.conf for details)Has anyone successfully been using PAM to authenticate Samba users
using their /etc/shadow passwords?
The encryption is different. It would only be possible if you have changed a registry setting on every windows client to make them send the passwords in plain text.
No, you have to do both. Somewhere around service pack 4 for NT,
Microsoft changed their default, making it more difficult to
use a Samba server with existing unix accounts. Current windows
clients won't send plaintext without the registry change even
if the server permits it.
