[Samba] Using Samba 3.0.0 with NIS+

[wlwalker]

Is NIS+ still a valid option for Samba authentication in 3.0?  In some of the 2001 
mailing lists: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba-technicalm=99897903907577w=2, 
they state that it will not be supported.  Do this directions still apply?

I am working on migrating to OpenLDAP, but I need something in place in the meantime.  
Sending passwords in the clear is an option, but we prefer not to rely on the NT 
domain for reliability and security is a big factor in authenicating off the NT side.

Thank you,
Wendy

only the NIS+ passdb module was removed.  Clear text
authenticiation will still function.
