If you are going to use samba as the PDC and have Win2k clients you will
need to use samba 2.2 since 2.0.7 does not have the capability of
having a Win2k clients become a member of the domain.
As far as the NIS/smbpasswd I don't think there is a way around keeping
multiple password files. You could have your users run a script at the
command prompt that changes the password in passwd then smbpasswd, and
have the NIS password database rebuild say every 5 min. Just my 2
cents.
