I think that Peter wanted to be able to have the reverse operation defined
as well.  EG:  Running yppasswd (Or whatever the NIS util is called), and
having it update the SMB passwd as well.

I thought that samba could auth against NIS?
Alternately, he could look into how well the pam_ntdom module works (I
think its a part of TNG_2_5).

Whatevr works, I have an interest in too, but not be able to look into it
for a while.
