Haven't tested the pam password configuration to see if password changes are handled correctly.

==== BUGS ====
There is a bug in the version of Samba that ships with Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) which causes an 'out of memory' error in winbindd. If you experience problems logging in, you can verify if this is the cause by searching for that phrase:
<pre>
$ grep -i memory /var/log/samba/log.winbindd
</pre>
A fix has been released in package samba-3.4.0-3ubuntu5.5, which will be packaged as part of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). It is also available in the karmic-proposed repository.
'''WARNING:''' Enabling the karmic-proposed repository on a production machine could cause instability. It is recommended that, in addition to adding the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, you also create a file named '''/etc/apt/preferences.d/karmic-proposed''', with the following contents:
<pre>
Package: *
Pin: release a=karmic-security
Pin-Priority: 990
Package: *
Pin: release a=karmic-updates
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release a=karmic-proposed
Pin-Priority: 400
</pre>
Use aptitude to select only the packages that you need (i.e. samba) and install it.
