FW: Using the "nis" scripts to add users in Samba

[Santomauro, Deborah]

I'm including my current smb.conf file - I more or less followed the
examples that were listed in the documentation found on
http://home.monyo.com/technical/samba/NISPLUS.en.txt; let me know if I've
set it up correctly. Thanks!!

Please read http://home.monyo.com/technical/samba/NISPLUS.en.txt

You have to run on the master server or change the permission of NIS+
table.

btw, I want to contribute this document and want anyone to refine
English.
