[Samba] Can a Unix box act as Samba server as well as a NIS server?
Hello,
I need help -
1. What should be the configuration of nsswitch.conf
file when I want to make a Unix box both PDC (by
configuring Samba as PDC) as well a NIS server.
2. what should be the value of following parameters in
nsswitch.conf file?
a) passwd = nis files
group = nis files
or
b) passwd = nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
group = nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
3. Can I have users/password in etc/passwd, smbpasswd
as well in yppasswd?
kindly reply.
Best Regards,
sharada

If you bound your nis server to it self than you may use "files nis", I wouldn't do it the other way.> > 3.

Just keep them in sync. Christian> kindly reply. > > Best Regards, > > sharada > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
