smbpasswd in 2.0 - problems

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat.

It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error:

inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed?
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
inis-11#

This machine did not run NIS nor NIS+! It's an Ultra-Sparc1 running Solaris 2.6.

Any hints?

BTW: Is it possible to use only /etc/passwd on a samba-machine and can this samba-machine
be the authentication-server?

Thanks in advance
