I'm upgrading a home fileserver that was running under Samba.  Being a
glutton for punishment, and since CIFS is included in Solaris 8-11 or
whatever the exact nomenclature is (open Solaris, November release), I'm
trying to use CIFS instead of just duplicating my Samba configuration.
Thus, I'm completely new to CIFS.

There's no domain controller here, everything is done with a workgroup.
I've found the part of the CIFS admin manual that says how to join a
workgroup, and done that, with apparent success (it reported success at
the time). I've added the line to the PAM configuration, and re-set the
password of the user I want to connect as.  I've created a scratch ZFS
filesystem with the characteristics documented as needed to make it
shareable via CIFS. Sharemgr shows it as in fact shared.

I'm not clear if any of the "identity mapping" stuff applies to Workgroup
access.  I'd like to map the username my windows system is used to using
to connect into my Solaris username on the server, as I did previously in
Samba.  Should that be possible?  How?  Which kind of idmap thingy do I
have to use?  The manual makes it sound like it only works for AD
situations, though.

I think I'm having trouble with the old connection from the Windows box
(which is still around; it thinks I'm working "offline" now, since my My
Documents directory is on the file server, which I'm not connecting to
yet).  I'm going to try to get that completely cleaned up, and see if
anything more useful can be made to happen.
