password API needed

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

this post goes to multiple samba lists and to comp.protocols.smb.

NIS+.

can anyone remember who offered, or does anyone want, to add NIS+ password
database support to samba?  there is a new password api (passdb.c) to
which we wish to add some of the more powerful and secure databases
currently available: LDAP, NetInfo, NIS+ etc.
