Hi Thiep,

Unfortunately, "smbpasswd" never has worked for me - this is my original
problem. I tried following Monyo's documentation but have still been
unsuccessful. 

Cheers,
Deborah

Hi,

Sorry to ask, but why do you want to conver smbpasswd to NIS+
password?  What you want is to convert your current UNIX NIS/NIS+
to the samba passwd --- don't you?

I tried the awk script that they have in the source/scripts, but
it never work!  What I end up with is to make user a dummy passwd
and have them change it using 
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -U <user> by themselve.

Thiep,
