i want to implement a Samba server which authenticates the users via PAM stack against the linux password.
This is not possible. [snip]
How can I do this and is libpam-smb the correct library and where can i download the latest version?
libpam-smb does the reverse thing of what you want: It authenticates a user (loggin in on your Unix/Linux host) against a given SMB server (e.g. a Windows server).
since Samba is able to act as PDC, you could well authenticate your linux users against the Samba password on the linux PDC box, and leave the password fields in /etc/{passwd,shadow} invalid. in effect your linux password becomes a Samba one. if configured properly this probably will even work locally without a running samba, since only the pam module is involved.
