NAME
       pam_smb_passwd - SMB password management module

SYNOPSIS
       pam_smb_passwd.so.1

DESCRIPTION
       The  pam_smb_passwd  module enhances the PAM password management stack. This functionality supports the changing or adding of SMB passwords
       for local Solaris users. The Solaris CIFS server uses SMB passwords to authenticate connected  Solaris  users.  This  module  includes  the
       pam_sm_chauthtok(3PAM) function.

       The pam_sm_chauthtok() function accepts the following flags:

       PAM_PRELIM_CHECK

	   Always returns PAM_IGNORE.

       PAM_SILENT

	   Suppresses messages.

       PAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK

	   Updates  or	creates  a  new CIFS local LM/NTLM hash for the user that is specified in PAM_USER by using the authentication information
	   found in PAM_AUTHTOK. The LM hash is only created if the smbd/lmauth_level property value of the smb/server service	is  set  to  3	or
	   less. PAM_IGNORE is returned if the user is not in the local /etc/passwd repository.

       The following options can be passed to the pam_smb_passwd module:

       debug

	   Produces syslog(3C) debugging information at the LOG_AUTH or LOG_DEBUG level.

       nowarn

	   Suppresses warning messages.

FILES
       /var/smb/smbpasswd

	   Stores SMB passwords for Solaris users.

ERRORS
       Upon successful completion of pam_sm_chauthtok(), PAM_SUCCESS is returned. The following error codes are returned upon error:

       PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR

	   Authentication token manipulation error

       PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY

	   SMB password file is locked

       PAM_PERM_DENIED

	   Permissions are insufficient for accessing the SMB password file

       PAM_SYSTEM_ERR

	   System error

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
