not if you are using 1.1.6 ...

so you have users in /etc/passwd on the Linux box with the same
username as they have in the NT domain .. your /etc/pam_smb.conf contains
DOMAIN,PDC,BDC and it doesn't work ...

any logs? add debug to end of the auth required pam_smb_auth.so lines in
/etc/pam.d ..

also make sure PDC and BDC are in /etc/hosts..
