+Because pam_smbpass is derived from the Samba smbpasswd utility, recent
+versions of pam_smbpass require a copy of the Samba source code to be
+available on the build system.  Version 0.7.5 has been tested against
+Samba 2.2.0-alpha3, and this is the recommended version of Samba to use
+for building pam_smbpass.  This only affects /building/ pam_smbpass; you
+can still run any version of the Samba server that you want, although
+clearly it saves some disk space to have only one copy of the source
+code on your system (Samba 2.2.0-alpha3 takes roughly 32MB of disk space
+to build pam_smbpass).
+
+Version 0.7.5 features a new build system to make it easier to build
+pam_smbpass.
+
+
+Using the new build system
+==========================
+
+If you don't have a copy of the Samba source code on your machine, and you
+don't have a preferred Samba version (or mirror site), you can build
+pam_smbpass by just typing 'make'.
+
+If you want to use a version other than 2.2.0-alpha3, or you want to
+download the source code from a faster Samba mirror (see
+<http://us1.samba.org/samba/> for a list of mirror sites), please download
+the source code and unpack it before running make.  The build scripts will
+attempt to autodetect your Samba source directory, and if it can't be
+found automatically, you will be given the opportunity to specify an
+alternate directory for the Samba sources.
+
+Feedback is welcome if you try (or succeed!) to build pam_smbpass with
+other versions of Samba.
+
+
+Options to 'make'
+=================
+
+By default, pam_smbpass will configure the Samba build tree with the
+options
+
+    --with-fhs --with-privatedir=/etc --with-configdir=/etc
+
+This will configure pam_smbpass to look for the smbpasswd file as
+/etc/smbpasswd (or /etc/smbpasswd.tdb), and the smb.conf file as
+/etc/smb.conf.  You can override these options by setting CONFIGOPTS when
+calling make.  E.g., if you have your smb.conf file in /usr/etc and your
+smbpasswd file in /usr/etc/private, you might run
+
+    make CONFIGOPTS="--with-privatedir=/usr/etc/private --with-configdir=/usr/etc"
+
+For a complete list of available configuration options, see
+'./samba/configure --help'
+
+
+Installing the module
+=====================
+
+If all goes well in the build process, the file pam_smbpass.so will be
+created in the current directory.  Simply install the module into your
+system's PAM module directory:
+
+	install -m 755 -s bin/pam_smbpass.so /lib/security
+
+and you're all set.
