7 <para>When Samba 3.0 is configured to enable PAM support
8 (i.e. --with-pam), this parameter will control whether or not Samba
9 should obey PAM's account and session management directives. The
10 default behavior is to use PAM for clear text authentication only
11 and to ignore any account or session management. Note that Samba
12 always ignores PAM for authentication in the case of <smbconfoption
13 name="encrypt passwords">yes</smbconfoption>. The reason
14 is that PAM modules cannot support the challenge/response
15 authentication mechanism needed in the presence of SMB password encryption.
