I don't think you can get samba to authenticate off of nis. You CAN get it
to authenticate off of ldap, but it's not straightforward. The easiest
thing to do is enable swat (you should have the docs for that in your samba
distribution). The reason you can't authenticate off of nis is it has a
(probably) crypt encrypted password. samba (and windows, etc) don't use
crypt...they use something much less secure. In fact, your password is
stored in two methods. One is the older lanman format, where the string is
broken down into two 7-byte (i think it's 7) strings and encrypted
seperately (making hacking much easier, incidentally). The other is more
secure, but since it's the same password in two formats, all you have to do
is hack the easy one.
for command-line use...you should have a command called "smbpasswd".
"smbpasswd -a username" run as root will add username to the smbpasswd file
specified in your smb.conf, and prompt for a password. without the -a, it
lets you change the password.

Greetings
I have installed Samba on my IBM RS6000 , and started the smbd and nmbd
services.
I am trying to connect to IBM RS6000 Samba server from my windows2000 client
and getting the following error message:
C:\>f:
The system cannot find the drive specified.
C:\>net use f: \\ibm210\bsarma <file://\\ibm210\bsarma>
The password is invalid for \\ibm210\bsarma <file://\\ibm210\bsarma> .
Type the password for \\ibm210\bsarma <file://\\ibm210\bsarma> :
System error 1326 has occurred.
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
This is the user name I logon into my unix box and also into my windows2k
box.
Please advice.
Regards & Thanks
BN
