-pam_smbpass is a PAM module which can be used on conforming systems to
-keep the smbpasswd (Samba password) database in sync with the unix
-password file. PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is an API supported
-under some Unices, such as Solaris, HPUX and Linux, that provides a
-generic interface to authentication mechanisms.
-
-For more information on PAM, see http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
-
-This module authenticates a local smbpasswd user database. If you require
-support for authenticating against a remote SMB server, or if you're
-concerned about the presence of suid root binaries on your system, it is
-recommended that you use one of the other two following modules
-
- pam_smb - http://www.csn.ul.ie/~airlied/pam_smb/
- authenticates against any remote SMB server
-
- pam_ntdom - ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/pam_ntdom/
- authenticates against an NT or Samba domain controller
-
-Options recognized by this module are as follows:
-
- debug - log more debugging info
- audit - like debug, but also logs unknown usernames
- use_first_pass - don't prompt the user for passwords;
- take them from PAM_ items instead
- try_first_pass - try to get the password from a previous
- PAM module, fall back to prompting the user
- use_authtok - like try_first_pass, but *fail* if the new
- PAM_AUTHTOK has not been previously set.
- (intended for stacking password modules only)
- not_set_pass - don't make passwords used by this module
- available to other modules.
- nodelay - don't insert ~1 second delays on authentication
- failure.
- nullok - null passwords are allowed.
- nonull - null passwords are not allowed. Used to
- override the Samba configuration.
- migrate - only meaningful in an "auth" context;
- used to update smbpasswd file with a
- password used for successful authentication.
- smbconf=<file> - specify an alternate path to the smb.conf
- file.
-
-See the samples/ directory for example PAM configurations using this
-module.
-
-Thanks go to the following people:
-
-* Andrew Morgan <morgan@transmeta.com>, for providing the Linux-PAM
-framework, without which none of this would have happened
-
-* Christian Gafton <gafton@redhat.com> and Andrew Morgan again, for the
-pam_pwdb module upon which pam_smbpass was originally based
-
-* Luke Leighton <lkcl@switchboard.net> for being receptive to the idea,
-and for the occasional good-natured complaint about the project's status
-that keep me working on it :)
-
-* and of course, all the other members of the Samba team
-<http://www.samba.org/samba/team.html>, for creating a great product
-and for giving this project a purpose
