Samba as a PDC and NIS authentication

[eirvine]

Hi,
 
Basically, I use encryted passwords and have to have a 
smbpasswd file. 

I also have a web page where students can change their
password. This page calls an expect script which changes
their NIS password, then changes their smbpasswd.

Eddie.
