Has anyone been here recently and can help with how to config the appliance for Samba but to authenticate from NIS ?
I've never heard of Samba authenticating off NIS, as Windows (SMB/CIFS) and Unix (PAM, NIS, etc) use different incompatible password hashes. on a pure Samba system that doesn't have an external authentication system such as Active Directory, I've always had to use smbpasswd to setup the SMB passwords for the 'windows' users.
