I know very little about debconf so do not understand the technical issue alluded to above regarding pam and debconf.
However, I do not think it should be in the default configuration that smb passwords maybe used to login - that is a specific requirement that should not be enabled by default. I guess that the debconf problem is that when libpam-smbpass is installed it cannot update common-auth? -- error in auth.log when switch user -- pam_smbpass.so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216990 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
