From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021203 Description of problem: The section on PAM module pam_smbpass.so at the bottom of "Configuring Samba" is obsolete because Psyche does not ship with pam_smbpass.so. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-samba-configuring.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhl-cg(EN)-8.0-HTML-RHI (2002-08-14T17:28-0400) Additional information: bug #76745
I am trying to find out if leaving this module out was a mistake or on purpose.
What is the status of this? I got here because with that pam_smbpass.so entry in /etc/pam.d/system-auth, I'd get something like this: # passwd user (user) Enter current password: passwd: Module is unknown It was a stroke of luck (a back-up /etc/pam.d/system-auth) that saved my butt.
Also see bug #78881.
OK. So I will keep the section in future versions of the manual since it has been added back to the package. I'll also add a docs errata stating that the module was not included in RHL 8.0 but will be included in a future errata.
