> Hello,
>
> I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux
> system using NIS+ as the password system.  Samba complains that
> it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as
> I'm not using one.  I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir'
> that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called
> passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.
> However, it still can't find any users.
>
> Obviously, I'm missing a concept here.  Any hints?  Basically, I
> do not want to use a smbpasswd file (too much of a pain to keep
> it synchonized); I want to do all authentication off of the
> existing NIS+ password system.  Nothing fancy, just all valid
> NIS+ users should be able to log into samba with the same
> password.
>
> I did recompile with -DWITH_NISPLUS, that is the version I've
> been playing with above.

> Thanks for any suggestions,
