To enable [http://www.linux-pam.org PAM] to authenticate domain accounts via Winbindd, it is necessary that PAM finds "pam_winbind.so". For that, it is recommended to place a symbolic link in the right place instead of copying, so that you don't have to replace the file after every Samba update.

Introduction

To enable hosts to receive user and group information from a domain using Winbind, you must create two symbolic links in a directory of the operating system's library path.



Determining the Platform

To determine the operating system's platform: 

# uname -i



Locating the libnss_winbind.so.2 Library

The libnss_winbind.so.2 library is installed in the Samba library directory set at compile time. To locate the folder: 

# smbd -B | grep LIBDIR
   LIBDIR: /usr/local/samba/lib/

Link the library from this directory to your operating system's library directory.
