Samba 2.07 smbpasswd problem

[Peck Chris V]

The user I am trying to add has a valid account and their login works
fine. The SWAT tool also fails to add any users for me. I am running
nisplus, and that seems to be working fine. I compiled samba with the
--with-nisplus option.

Sorry about dodgy reply format, but I am limited to Outlook for posting.

Make sure that userone already has an account on your solaris machine. 
then run smbpasswd again.
