i want to implement a Samba server which authenticates the users via PAM stack against the linux password.
This is not possible. Linux never stores the plain text passwords; Windows (or any Samba client) never transmits plain text passwords. Thus, there's no data that can be compared anyhow: Linux only has crypt/MD5 hashes of the password, Windows only transmits MD4 data.
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).
