Sorry, typo there, I did get it right earlier!

While the pam results you get above are purely a user description. But if netatalk does authenticate, that could be good. Can you also get authenticated with, say, "su - james"? Have you tried connecting with smbclient to the server?

Yep, if I setup other PAM bits I can login via (for instance) SSH, and netatalk worked pretty much straight away.

I'll bring this up on the samba lists and see if anyone has any ideas.  Samba4 is working pretty well, so that might be an option, there's just (ironically) an issue with netatalk on that side (but I think the guys at NetAFP are pretty confident that they can remedy that quickly).

Thanks,

James.
