I am trying to get Linux to login to a NT domain, I have tried to use pam_smb we got it to authenticate at the Konsole but not at the KDE login box. This is on Mandrake Linux 7.1. Any help would be great.

Well, if it works on the console, then the pam module works just fine. It sounds like login was configured to use it, but KDM (the K Display Manager) wasn't. You should check its documentation to make sure it supports pam.

Also, look in your /etc/pam.d directory for the KDM configuration file. You'll have to change it to use pam_smb instead of pam_unix.

These configurations can also be made in /etc/pam.conf. I'm not sure how Mandrake handles such things, I'm a Debian user, cuz its better:)
