[Bug 587810] [NEW] pam_winbind reports misleading "Access denied"

[Andreas Heinlein]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

We have a networked environment with passdb in LDAP, and the Ubuntu
clients act as samba clients in a samba domain. When you install winbind
and libnss-ldap/libpam-ldap, /etc/pam.d/common-auth looks like this:

auth [succes=3 default=ignore] pam_unix.so
auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_winbind.so
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so

That means "try local passdb first, then winbind, then LDAP". In our
case, pam_unix.so fails silently, and pam_winbind should, too. But
instead, pam_winbind reports "Access denied" to the user. This does not
harm much, since authentication works anyway, but it is quite
irritating. Even adding "silent" parameter to pam_winbind did not help.
Please fix this.
