Setting up samba with NIS

HI:
Is anybody using NIS with Samba?
I have an SGI server running IRIX 6.5 and Samba 2.0.4. The SGI server
is acting as an NT PDC.
A couple weeks ago, we weren't running NIS. The local /etc/passwd contained
entries for each user and NT machine. I could successfully log on from an NT
workstation into the Samba domain
But we cleaned these entries out of /etc/passwd when we implemented
NIS. Now the machine and user entries are contained in /var/yp/passwd.
To further complicate the situation, the SGI server running Samba is
NOT a master NIS server - it is a slave.
Now the NT workstation login is not working. The [homes] share is no
longer resolving to my home directory, and my profile (stored in a [profiles]
share on the SGI server) is not loading. Also, when I try to access
the SGI server from Network Neighborhood, I am not recognized as a user!
If you are running NIS with Samba, did you have to do anything special? What
does your smb.conf look like?
THANKS!
Lisa
