Title:
  pam_cifscreds.so not supplied in package

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The cifs-utils source package contains the pam_cifscreds.so PAM
  module; however, this is not built and supplied in a resulting binary
  package.  This is necessary functionality for our local managed
  deployment.

  We have worked around this issue by building our own patched version
  of the package; however, this is liable to be clobbered by any future
  upstream updates. Hence, it would be valuable if our modifications, or
  some variant of them, could be adopted upstream.

  The changes required are minimal; simply add libpam0g-dev to Build-
  Depends, and add some appropriate flags to ./configure in debian/rules
  to ensure the requisite library is built and installed in the correct
  location.

  See attached patch.
