[MLUG] pam_smb

[Rick Buford <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am wondering if anyone has run into any glaring or subtle security
problems with pam_smb. I'm in the process of upgrading my edge linux servers
that are responsible for dns, mail, and incoming ssh tunnels for remote
desktop adminstration. Administering the the incoming ssh sessions becomes a
lot easier if I can pawn off password adminsitration to the Windows domain
since all I have to do then is create an account and disable it in
/etc/shadow. I have also modified a custom shell so that the user has no
actual access to the gateway itself. Are there any glaring holes in this I
should be watching out for, or has anyone run into any problems with
pam_smb?

We've carved out a pretty respectable niche for linux in an all NT shop, and
I wanna make sure I'm not opening up any new holes that I don't have to.
