+	Answer: The problem may lie with your inclusion of <parameter>pam_stack.so
+	service=system-auth</parameter>. That file often contains a lot of stuff that may
+	duplicate what you're already doing. Try commenting out the pam_stack lines
+	for auth and account and see if things work. If they do, look at
+	<filename>/etc/pam.d/system-auth</filename> and copy only what you need from it into your
+	<filename>/etc/pam.d/login</filename> file.  Alternatively, if you want all services to use
+	winbind, you can put the winbind-specific stuff in <filename>/etc/pam.d/system-auth</filename>.
