Larry, you are misunderstanding me. Here:
SAMBA
is
NOT
a
LOADABLE
Program
you
install
ON
a
WINDOWS
SERVER
PERIOD.
Windows Server can and does share the files through it's server services
already included with MicroSoft's Product. Windows 2000 already has
SMB/CIFS services available once you turn them on.
Nothing more is needed on that machine other than to define the shares
(\\YOURSERVER\CAD-FILES)
Again, let me explain this:
SAMBA
is
NOT
a
LOADABLE
Program
you
install
ON
a
WINDOWS
SERVER
PERIOD.
SAMBA is used by *NON**WINDOWS* machines to connect to Windows machines.
By default Solaris uses NFS and AFS by default. Windows 2000 WILL NOT
USE READ or OFFER THESE SERVICES PERIOD.
For your SOLARIS MACHINE to COMMUNICATE PROPERLY with the WINDOWS
server, you must do the following thing on your solaris workstaion:
1. Download the samba source:
http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.5.tar.gz
2. extract the source to a non-compressed format
3. you must "configure" (it is a command in the files you just
extracted) and it will prepare itself to be compiled
4. you must 'make" the compiled versions of SAMBA
5. you then as "root" on the solaris workstation, do a "make
install"
6. Find the service file for Solaris and have it auto start samba
for Solaris.
7. You then must "know how to" mount these Windows2000 Shares from
your Solaris machine, to be able to read these files.
Please Read the Manuals URLs, I gave you earlier. They will so much help
you out.
Good, luck. You need to comprehend the whole idea first. This is not an
insult, just that you are lacking the understanding needed to really get
this done.
