Hi, I have a solaris 8 server. Right now it's configured to allow linux clients to connect to it via NIS and NFS. I also need to set up access to the server for Win 2k clients via Samba. (I have expierence setting up Samba on a smaller scale) My problem is that right now the server is set up with all the NIS (or yp if you prefer) passwords stored in /usr/local/etc/passwd. Most of these passwords do not exhist in /etc/passwd. All my passwords are encrypted with SHA1. (if I remember correctly, not with MD5 Shadow like most linux distros use) I need a mechanism to convert or share the current password file with samba's private/smbpasswd file. Either I need to convert it and then use a utility to keep it sync'd with the UNIX NIS password file, or I need to have the two systems share a password file. Does anyone have any sugestions on how to go about doing this? -- -Maxwell Bottiger http://www.jive-turkey.net If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
