Description Kenneth Porter 2005-10-12 00:05:05 UTC 
The pam_smbpass.so module provided with Samba is useful for keeping Unix and
Windows passwords synchronized. The module must currently be installed manually
and one must take care to avoid use of system-config-authentication which will
remove it.

authconfig-5.0.1-1 in today's Fedora Development lacks the string "smbpass" so
I'm assuming no support is present in the latest version.

An example of how to install the module in system-auth can be found in the
following post, with the caveat that one must use 0.76 or later due to a bug in
pam_unix.

One should be able to use the module in both the auth and password sections.

The module documentation can be found here:

A valid enhancement request.
