Change password from Win95/NT

[Frank Post]

Hallo,

i want to that each user can change his password from his pc under NIS+ on 
Solaris 2.6.

The normal athentication over NIS+ is working on my test environment.
But if i want to change the password from a Win95 machine i get the following
error:

 getnisppwnam: using NIS+ table /opt/samba/private/smbpasswd
[1999/10/22 16:01:31, 0] passdb/nispass.c:(491)
  make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start 
file... is NIS+ installed?

What do i have to do, to make it work ?
Why does samba will use the private/smbpasswd table and not the system NIS+ 
table ?

Must the samba server run on the NIS+ Master to change passwd ?

How to use passwd aging with samba ?

Is it wright that the "passwd program" and "passwd chat" are not used for NIS+ ?


A lot of Questions...

Thanks, to all.
