This is how I did it: First, install the necessary packages: pfexec pkg install SUNWsmbs SUNWsmbskr SUNWsmbfs SUNWsmbfskr Then, start the services: pfexec svcadm enable svc:/network/smb/client:default pfexec svcadm enable svc:/system/idmap:default pfexec svcadm enable svc:/network/smb/server:default Finally you have to modify the following files to set up user, shared folder and PAM: /etc/smbautohome /etc/pam.conf I am in no way competent enough to give comments on CIFS. You can try google "opensolaris, cifs" to get more info, or someone else more experienced will be kind enough to help. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
