I think the question that he has is similar to mine:

 I have about 50-60 linux/unix users and about 20-40 winnt users on my
network - currently the NT folks are using nisgina and the plaintext reg
patch to access a samba 2.0.6 system. - this works ok but its not very
graceful and doesn't give me much in the way of profiles etc etc.

I'd like to make all the NT users authenticate against a samba PDC (TNG)
and use/set the same password as the nis passwd file has.

I know it will take two password files (b/c it has two different 1-way
hashes) but has anyone setup and had good tests on a system like this?

I'm worried about the password updating (both from unix passwd change-> to
NT and vice-versa)

any suggestions or pointers?
