Les,
	I tried enabling smb authentication once during a new install but was 
unable to login as root after the install.  I assumed that pam would 
look for a local shadow password to authenticate against and if not 
found, try to authenticate with the domain controller.  Is this 
assumtion correct?  Should I have added domain accounts before enabling 
smb or should I have added the machine to the domain?  I'll have to try 
this again in the future after reading the authconfig man page.

Thanks,

Dale
