I've just installed Samba 2.2.4 on a Solaris 8 machine. We NIS+ and I'm trying to avoid doing a smbpasswd -a for each of my users. I saw some info on doing a cat /etc/passwd and piping it through mksmbpasswd to the private/smbpasswd file. This didn't work. I tried it with the shadow file as well as doing a nisaddent and taking the dump of my nis+ password file and running it through the mksmbpasswd password. None of these worked. I saw that there was a ypcat, but is there something that can be used with NIS+ specifically? If not, if I want Samba to authenticate using my NIS+ master, do I need to install Samba on that machine as well? Are there instructions for all the NIS+ parameters for the smb.conf if I have to do it that way? Currently, samba is installed on one of my NIS+ clients only. Thanks in advance for any help/advice. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health - Feel better, live better http://health.yahoo.com
