[Jairo Campana]

hello I want to install samba in HPUX and when I want to add to the user :

I am mapeando a unit for NT and I do not want that it requests password to me that I must do in samba (smb.conf)
# Global parameters
[global]

hello I want to install samba in HPUX and when I want to add to the user

#cd /opt/samba_src/samba/source/
. /smbadduser javier:javier
(both created in UNIX and NT)

I obtain the following message:
sip1 # ./smbadduser javier:javier
ypcat: the NIS domain name hasn't been set on this machine
ERROR: javier Not in passwd database SKIPPING...

sip1 #
this is so that the equipment this in way trusted:

Hi,

first you will have to work a little on your posting technique.

then, 'man ypcat'.

seems like your machine is not (yet) a NIS client. to do so, you will have to have a NIS client. if you already have it, issue a

domainname

where is the NIS domain that your NIS server is serving (heh, nice phrase)

then

ypinit -c

and type the name/IP of your NIS server.

then you will have to restart inet and inetsvc services.

take a look at /etc/nsswitch.conf (or /etc/nsswitch.nis, whichever your machine uses) and make sure you take the usernames and groups from NIS.
