As near as I can tell, it was an error/badly-thought-out-decision by the previous Red Hat Samba maintainer. I've reinstated it for samba-2.2.7a releases in rawhide, but I wasn't planning on considering errata for 7.x and 8.0 until after Samba-2.2.8 is out, with its improved large file handling, since it's a more compelling reason to issue errata. In the mean time, you can grab the 2.2.7a srpm and rebuild it.
Now that Red Hat Linux 9 is out, I'm going to close this as currentrelease.
But this report is about Red Hat Linux 7.3. And while Red Hat has shipped several errata releases for Samba since this report was submitted, none of them puts back in pam_smbpass.so for Red Hat Linux 7.3: 2.2.7-1.7.3, 2.2.7-2.7.3, 2.2.7-3.7.3 It's a weird decision to leave Samba broken, regardless of whether it's trivial to modify the src.rpm.
