This is apples and oranges. You don't need any extra flags as long as NIS users can be obtained via getpwnam(). You do need to disable 'encrypt passwords' though. And you will also probably need to read up on the 'password level' parameter in smb.conf(5).

This doesn't make sense to me if you want to authenticate against NIS. I think you need to read the HOWTO's again. security = server is for authenticating against a remote SMB server (and this mode has been deprecated in favor of security = domain for several years now).
