[Samba] samba 2.2.2 and nis?

[Shekhar]

Encrypted passwords work. First of all sychronize the NIS Samba password.
PDC smb.conf
        workgroup = Domainname
        netbios name = PDC
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/yppasswd %u
        unix password sync = Yes
        passwd chat = *root*password* secret\n \
        *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *NIS* 

Point other member samba server to PDC
        workgroup = Domainname
        netbios name = MEMBER
        security = SERVER
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = PDC

BTW on Member smbpasswd -j Domainname

> Hello,
