His suggestion is (if I understand correctly) that some other package somehow pulled a reference to /etc/pam.d/samba in the /etc/pam.d/common-password. It might be possible, but also those other packages shouldn't touch your common-password, except some configuration scripts that you explicitly authorize. Anyway, it might be a good idea to look in that situation. If you have backups, you might be able to find the last alteration date of your common-password (before the change you did to fix it, of course). The apt log might then tell you which packages were updated that day, so you can try to find out what went wrong. It is a whole lot of trouble though, so you can also hope somebody else runs into this, but does remember how it came into being. Sjoerd

Hi Sjoerd,sorry that I have to write u a direct E-mail - I red your thread about this passwd-problem and I've had the same one. I think it's not due some strange changes which samba did, but in fact there are some "standard"-pam-modules not installed - so pam is forced to fall back to the winbind-pam-authentication. I noticed that, because when I purged samba and windbind passwd gives me the hint with "module is not available" and so I screened for not installed libpam-packages and realized some which could be the problem. In the end I think the not installed "libpam-pwdfile" was the problem, but I've also installed some others as: libpam-ssh, libpam-modules, libpam-cracklib (which was already installed after setup), libpam-runtime, libpam-unix2. Maybe you can post this to the list, that also others are able to access that solution!Thanks a lot Christian Lehmann
