Howdy,
Ok, I've tried and tried and I've searched and searched and there seems to be quite a bit of interest out there about this but I
have YET to see information on getting it to work. I'm trying to get Samba to authenticate against my NIS server when I connect to
my shares.
Here's where I am currently:
Windows XP SP2
RedHat 7.3
Samba 3.0.7
In my config file I have encrypted passwords set to "yes" and I currently have an smbpasswd file.
I cannot believe that I have to continue to use this smbpasswd file. Can't Samba use my NIS server to authenticate my user just
like Linux does when I login?
The only thing I have found so far is that I should set the encrypted passwords line to "no". I try that but no go.
Any help would be appreciated and I don't think I'm the only one looking for this solution!
Thomas
