Samba and Sun NIS

[Fouquet, Errol]

Jeff,
The error message you are seeing is from Solaris ... unfortunately I'm quite
familiar with it :-P
Was the Sun box previously configured for NIS+?
What does your /etc/nsswitch.conf file look like?

Subject: Samba and Sun NIS


I am trying to get Samba working under Solaris 8 with NIS (not plus) on
this. My NT machine and the Sun machine pass all of the diagnostics and I
can see the exported drives but can't login.  Everything seems fine and I
have Samba working on my AIX machines. I compiled with NIS+ support even
though I am using NIS and it did not work so then I compiled without support
and same error. I am using encrypted passwords since that is what NT is
using.

 I used both mksmbpasswd and mknissmbpasswd to populate the smbpasswd file
but when I try to change a users smb password I get the error:

make_sam_from_nisresult: NIS+ lookup failure:Error in accessing NIS+ cold
start file...is NIS+ installed?

I don't think I am going to be able to log in from NT until I can, at least,
change a password as root.       Help!
