I got two answers (I think Pathworks for OSF1 isn't so much in use)
==============================================
1) From john@zyqad.co.uk Thu Sep 21 12:47:01 1995

As far as I know you can't use the standard UNIX passwd or NIS passwd for
PathWorks.  PW seems to want to keep a separate set of passwords so users who
work both on the server directly and through a PC have to either keep both
passwords in-line or remember 2 different ones.  A big pain in the ***.  At
least that was my experience when we used PW.  We have since ditched PW and just
use samba a public domain package that allows the mapping of server drives from
PCs but not vice versa.  It can also handle printers but I haven't had to do
that.  Samba uses the UNIX passwd file and I think works with NIS.

Personally I would suggest you ditch PW but you may have very good reasons to
want to keep PW.
==============================================
2) From: I lost the address

Pathworks for Ultrix use NIS passwords
==============================================

It seems there is no quick solution to my Problem. I'll try samba and perhaps make the
switch to it.

Thanks
Norbert
