  $ pkg search -r SUNWsmbau

  shows that pkg:/SUNWsmba and pkg:/SUNWlibsmbclient deliver a legacy
  action for SUNWsmbau.  We could use the HOTLINE field to identify this
  as a pkg(5) legacy action, I suppose.

  $ pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWsmba SUNWlibsmbclient

  will uninstall those two packages.

  $ pkg search -r smbd

  shows that pkg:/SUNWsmba delivers a /usr/sbin/smbd while pkg:/SUNWsmbs
  delivers /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd.
