[Samba] NIS as user authentication

[greg at fqdn.com]

Kevin,

  My understanding is Samba has been able to authenticate against a passwd
map for a very long time.

For kicks I did a google search on "samba NIS passwd" and it returned over
36k results,  7 of the first 10 results have howto links...


have a great day,
greg
