[NTLUG:Discuss] WHAT PAM FILES!!!

[Bryan J. Smith]

I think the problem is that he has 0 PAM files to start with.
Before he was just adding 1, configuring VMWare to use traditional UNIX auth.
But now he wants to add Winbindd as a PAM option.
So he'll have to create _all_ applicable PAM files for _all_ sevices that need to authenticate against Winbindd.
(and do the services need to be rebuilt for PAM too?)

I could be totally wrong though.
But if he is looking to authenticate against a CIFS/ADS domain, that's what is required AFAIK.
I've had PAM distros as a crutch, so I may be totally off-the-mark.

What particular applications are you trying to configure pam for?  I will
make a difference as to what you will need in the pam.d config file.

What you have listed looks like it should work fine for most auths like
login, ssh, pop.

OK, so I'm having to load PAM on a Slackware server so that I can get
winbindd to provide me with Samba to Unix authentication.  FINE.  I can
submit to the evil PAM for this issue.

So now I have PAM compiled and installed, I've created my /etc/pam.d
directory and created the /etc/pamd.conf symlink to point to /etc/pam.d
GREAT.  Snow far, snow good.

Now the winbindd man page gives the following instructions...

----
In /etc/pam.d/* replace the auth lines with something like this:

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
auth       sufficient   /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_first_pass shadow
nullok
----

Great...I have no /etc/pam.d/* files!  I've googled for example pam files,
looked in my /usr/src/Linux-PAM-0.77 directory structure for sample pam
files..and either I'm blind as a bat or I don't know the proper
terminology to find the stinkin files.  make examples produces no output
either!What particular applications are you trying to setup pam for?

So...what term/terminology am I missing and what should my google search
terms be?  Oh and welcome to the wonderful world of PAM! :)

(I'm so close to solving all my problems today, it's painful!)
