samba - Apr 2005 - How to get samba 3.X to authenticate using NIS on Solaris

I am in the process of upgrading samba to version 3.X but cannot get any
of the 
3.x versions to authenticate users on Solaris using NIS (It does not use
the /etc/passwd file either) 
but will use the smbpasswd file?

How can I get samba 3.X to authenticate using NIS the way 2.X does?

Adding the following line to your smb.conf file ought to do the trick..

        encrypt passwords = no

I believe that was the default in 2.x whereas in 3.x encrypt passwords = yes is
the default.
