I tried to use that way by changing the windows registry to use plain text passwords, however got problem to add a machine to domain (need machine account in smbpasswd) On 8/12/05, John H Terpstra <jht@samba.org> wrote:> On Friday 12 August 2005 18:02, Saurabh Jain wrote: > > I want to use NIS authentication directly rather than using smbpasswd. > > Is that possible?
