NIS+ trouble

[Diane Oman]

I'm a little less new to samba now - but having a heck of a time
getting authentication to work.  I'm running NIS+, configured samba
with --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount.
Does anyone have some good nis/samba references?  I'm striking
out.

The smbpasswd file *does* have to become smbpasswd.org_dir for
samba to work.  I first created the smbpasswd file using
niscat passwd.org_dir | mksmbpasswd.sh which created smbpasswd.

I ran mknissmbpwdtbl.sh to make the nis+ table, then cat'd
smbpasswd through mknissmbpasswd.sh to populate the nis+
table smbpasswd.org_dir.

When I try to change passwords for a user as root I get this:

[root] % /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd oman
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
make_sam_from_nisp_object: malformed LM pwd entry.
Failed to find entry for user oman.
Failed to modify password entry for user oman
[root] % 


When I try to change passwords as a user I get this:

[oman] % /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified
password is invalid.
Failed to change password for oman
[oman] %

Can anyone send me a line from their smbpasswd.org_dir file?  I'm not
sure the mknissmbpasswd.sh script is populating the table correctly -
the entry for me looks like this:

[stillwater:root] % niscat smbpasswd.org_dir | grep oman
oman:1010::::[U,:NO,PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX::::::::::::::
 
I'd really appreciate any assistance or ideas.

Thanks,
Diane
