Hello, I compiled samba2.2.2 with --with-nisplussam --with-nisplus-home and also with some other options. I just doubt how to authenticate user accessing samba by NIS. Can samba accounts be stored in NIS server such as ldap or PDC? If so, hwo to organise the data in NIS and how to configure smb.conf? Is there some clues about it ? Thanks for any help. Carl
Just to clarify: The users all have shell accounts on a FreeBSD unix server, these accounts get authenticated via NIS( this unix server is an NIS client, as well as an NIS slave(this is probably not relevant though)) The users can also access the same unix server through Samba (from their windows workstations) I would like every user with an NIS account to be able to access the unix machine through Samba (from their windows workstations). Without having them manually login to their shell account and use the smbpasswd tool to sync their account password.
