I am creating a samba domain that will allow PC access to a small group of Sun servers running varying and some very old versions of SunOS. They are using NIS for users, groups and netgroups. They share files internally via NFS from a single share on a Linux server. I have setup samba to allow access local from their win9x,2000,XP workstations and therefore had to use encrypted passwords. Was wondering if anyone worked out any interesting password syncronization schemes with a similar configuration? Currently I am using some expect "glue" to make the smb password sync work and I'm working on a backend for yppasswdd but its getting sloppy. Any ideas would be appreciated... Thx, Rich Henry henry@brsc.com
