    Can anyone discuss the proper way to do passwords using multiple Linux
    servers, Samba and Postfix with Linux and Win9x/NT clients.

    Right now I create a user account on the sever, then do the Samba with
    "smbpasswd -a username" then I go into my NIS/yp stuff and do a "make" to
    push the account across all the servers.

    Some concerns are:

    1. We'd like to have users change their network password using the Samba
    admin tool.. then run a script that could push that new password out via
    NIS make to all the servers. Any ideas?

    2. It would be nice if passwords were stored in only one place, right?
    Instead of locally, in the yp, and smbpasswd.
