[lug] Samba password question

[Samartha]

>Does anyone know if it is possible in samba ( v 2.0.6) to
automatically authenticate users coming from NT against the Linux/Unix
users in passwd or NIS?

I got it working but so far I have to maintain a separate smbpasswd entry
for every user.  This somehow   does not feel right.

Digging thru the available documentation (man pages online) I am getting
kind of lost in the volume of information.

Any hints are appreciated,

Thanks,

Samartha
