Are PAM modules a viable route and/or one that you'd consider? I have
no idea how it would work, but it seems to me that it's a good loosely
coupled interface from both sides of the problem. To be honest, I run
Slackware and PAM isn't included as Patric V. strong believes PAM is a
security risk, so I can't comment on how easy an implementation might be
as I've only toyed with it on a few occasions. I know, however, that
Samba uses PAM for syncing the passwd/shadow files, so there must be
some sort of interfacing capabilities native to Samba.
