That's gutsy.  PAM is supposed to be very arcane.  It may put something
useful in your logs though.  (/var/log/auth.log, I guess)

Ugh.  I wonder why that would be a good thing?

Try server="jerome" and path="srvshare".  I'm not sure you need both
volume blocks.

I don't think you need to restart any PAM stuff.  It should work after 
you change the config.

You might also need the smbfs package if you don't already have it 
(contains the smbmount command).
