That's certainly what I want. And similarly, I want to be able to replace a Unix system running Samba with an OpenSolaris system using cifs, including allowing guest access. (BTW, am I still going to need Samba for printers, or will CUPS handle that natively?) _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
