Persevere until until you get it working. I never thought I'd say this, but I think this is a better CIFS server than Samba! :)
One trick that will help you a lot is using 'zfs set sharesmb=name=[some_name] [pool]/[filesystem]' - this way you get nice neat share names. I haven't done AD integration yet, but as a standalone CIFS server, Solaris is now the easiest to administer CIFS server out there. Easier than Windows, even. cheers, Blake On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 2:49 AM, Ian Collins <ian at ianshome.com> wrote: > David Dyer-Bennet wrote: >> On Sun, January 18, 2009 12:14, Ray Clark wrote: >> >>> Wow.
