No major mistakes then, cool :-) I'll add the ddns stuff to my notes and test it out, I can definately see that being useful to know.
Regarding the hostname, I think it is done with the OpenSolaris installer, but not with the one currently included in snv. That installer doesn't prompt for a host name at any point although it does create a (blank) hostname.e1000g0 file. And I'll look forward to the Kerberos updates. CIFS is certainly pretty smooth these days, much easier than it was to begin with, and really not much more complicated than setting up a windows server. I just thought I'd best check my notes since I aware I'm testing a moving target here :) Ross On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 8:26 PM, Alan M Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I thought step 2 was done by the installer but I could be wrong. > > Step 3 shouldn't be necessary if you enable dynamic DNS updates > prior to enabling the CIFS service: > > sharectl set -p ddns_enable=true smb > svcadm enable -r smb/server > > There appears to be a bug in BIND, which prevents it from making > dynamic DNS updates on ADS.
