First off I'd like to say that the SWAT utility that comes in the new version of Samba is very nice. Unfortunately I am still having difficulty authenticating. I am on a Solaris 2.6 machine and I would like to use NIS to authenticate as well as use the automounter for home directories. What do I need to add at compile time or in the config file ? thanks Steve Stephen Potter Unix Administrator Lucent Technologies m *internet: skpotter@lucent.com
