Sure you want to do this? Normaly smb.conf is world readable!! Its 
realy bad to put your root password in a world readable file! even a 
file only readable by root is bad.

Install samba on the NIS master (you do not need any shares there, 
just the password stuff), set 
passwd programm = /usr/bin/passwd %u ; cd /var/yp ; make
or update nis via cron.
