I authenticate linux users via the smb pam mechanism. When I go through

I was terribly frustrated to see the server validate the users that log
and then see the client machine not properly handle the returned success.
I discovered that I had to run system-config-authentication which showed
all the correct settings except for the server line that is in
/etc/pam_smb.conf. Once I entered the correct server name things work
great.
How come I have to run system-config-authentication to get
authentication to work? Why doesn't the system know that I have
allready hand entered the correct data in /etc/pam_smb.conf?
Because system-config-authentication restarts smb for you? bleh.
