Folks, I have been primarily administrating Windows AD environment and OpenSolaris CIFS is newer to me. I would appreciate your help in understanding how I can perform seamless CIFS integration on OpenSolaris.
On Windows, creating a network share is a straightforward process. 1. Create the share. Give it a name. 2. Specify access permissions for specific AD users or groups. I cursorily went through CIFS administration guide. There is a lot to digest in that document:-(. However, from my limited understanding, permission management is a two-step process: 1. Create an OpenSolaris user for the corresponding AD user. 2. Set the permissions on the filesystem for the OpenSolaris user. Creating/deleting OpenSolaris users to keep in sync with AD users seems very painful. Is there a way to bypass step 1 and just set the permissions using AD user/group identity? Also, I would appreciate any links to "CIFS Administration for Dummies." Thank you in advance for your help.
