If it is the NIS master it should just be files. If you bound your
nis server to it self than you may use "files nis", I wouldn't do it
the other way.

You will have to. /etc/passwd is the source for yppasswd and used to
build the maps distributeted by NIS, smbpasswd is needed by the samba
PDC. Just keep them in sync.
