FYI

My Gnome desktop system uses nsswitch to integrate with our Active
Directory domain. I upgraded my net/samba3 port today and it seems to
have broken this setup.

Information:

gdc083# grep winbind /etc/pam.d/gdm
auth            sufficient      /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so

gdc083# ls -l /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  33736 Oct 10 14:15
/usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so

gdc083# file /usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so
/usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel
80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), stripped

gdc083# pkg_info | grep samba
samba-3.0.23c_1,1   A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX

gdc083# grep gdm /var/log/messages
Oct 10 14:27:46 gdc083 gdm[61268]: in openpam_load_module(): no
/usr/local/lib/pam_winbind.so found
Oct 10 14:27:46 gdc083 gdm[61268]: gdm_verify_check: Can't find PAM
configuration for GDM.

gdc083# wbinfo -u | wc -l
      97
gdc083# wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded

So it would seem that the pam_winbind.so from the latest Samba port is
broken. If you have a setup like mine you probably don't want to
upgrade it!

I'm going to downgrade my samba3 port in the hope my desktop will be
back again. If have missed something please let me know, I didn't see
any mention of this in ports/UPDATING so I am assuming it is an
unknown issue.

Thanks,
Dominic
