>A number of Unix systems (eg: Sun Solaris), as well as the
xxxxBSD family and Linux, now utilize the Pluggable Authentication
Modules (PAM) facility to provide all authentication,
authorization and resource control services. Prior to the
introduction of PAM, a decision to use an alternative to
the system password database (<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc/passwd</TT
>)
would require the provision of alternatives for all programs that provide
security services. Such a choice would involve provision of
alternatives to such programs as: <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>login</B
>,
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>passwd</B
>, <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>chown</B
>, etc.</P
><P
>PAM provides a mechanism that disconnects these security programs
from the underlying authentication/authorization infrastructure.
PAM is configured either through one file <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc/pam.conf</TT
> (Solaris),
or by editing individual files that are located in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc/pam.d</TT
>.</P

>PAM allows stacking of authentication mechanisms. It is
also possible to pass information obtained within one PAM module through
to the next module in the PAM stack. Please refer to the documentation for
your particular system implementation for details regarding the specific
capabilities of PAM in this environment. Some Linux implmentations also
provide the <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>pam_stack.so</TT
> module that allows all
authentication to be configured in a single central file. The
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>pam_stack.so</TT
> method has some very devoted followers
on the basis that it allows for easier administration. As with all issues in
life though, every decision makes trade-offs, so you may want examine the
PAM documentation for further helpful information.</P

combination of <TT

<B

passdb backend, such as ldap, will allow the establishment of a
centrally managed, distributed
user/password database that can also be used by all
PAM (eg: Linux) aware programs and applications. This arrangement
can have particularly potent advantages compared with the
use of Microsoft Active Directory Service (ADS) in so far as
reduction of wide area network authentication traffic.</P

The following is from the on-line help for this option in SWAT;</P
><P
>When Samba is configured to enable PAM support (i.e.
<CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>--with-pam</CODE
>), this parameter will
control whether or not Samba should obey PAM's account
and session management directives. The default behavior
is to use PAM for clear text authentication only and to
ignore any account or session management. Note that Samba always
ignores PAM for authentication in the case of
<A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS"
TARGET="_top"
>encrypt passwords = yes</A

The reason is that PAM modules cannot support the challenge/response
authentication mechanism needed in the presence of SMB
password encryption. </P
