I have installed the binary package of Samba onto a Solaris 2.6 machine. I
am having great difficulty with my initial setups. As soon as I try to
configure the server to use encrypted passwords, the server stops
responding to my hosts from my NT desktop machine.
I have tried setting up the smbpasswd file, and I set up an initial user
account for me to use. I tried to use the smbpasswd, I get the following
error message:
make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start
files... is NIS+ Installed?
I do not have NIS+ installed, but I do not know how to disable samba from
attempting to access it.
Also, the mksmbpasswd.sh is expecting a standard /etc/passwd file. Is
there a script that will work with the Solaris /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
combination?
All help is greatly apprecitated.
Thanks,
Lynch
