help with password syncing

[mmt4q]

Hi.  I'm finally ready to try to setup password syncing between my Sun
Solaris 2.6 NIS Master running Samba 2.0.2 (or I'm ready for upgrade to
2.0.5a) and my WinNT workstations.

I wanted to double check with you some settings in my smb.conf:

smb passwd file =  /usr/local/samba-2.0.2/private/smbpasswd
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *passw*d*d*on*
passwd chat debug = No
password level = 0
unix password sync = Yes
password server =

(Note:  I got the password chat from the NTDOM mailing list where it
worked
for someone else on a Sun box)

Currently I have to add folks to /etc/passwd in order for Samba to
work.  Once password syncing is working, I hope only to have to
have an entry in /var/yp/passwd and /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd.
If I originally created smbpasswd by using mksmbpasswd.sh from
/etc/passwd
do I need to recreate smbpasswd?  or do I need to reconfigure Samba so
that
it looks at /var/yp/passwd instead of /etc/passwd?

Thank you for your help and documentation,

Melissa
