I wish there was. There are some helpful Sun engineers in sustaining engineering, but Sun's relationship to Samba has gotten very frosty since they crammed their Procom-bought CIFS server into the OpenSolaris kernel. It's a shame, Solaris used to be one of our major platforms and could be again if they decided to help third-party developers instead of hindering them with non-third-party available API's etc. Yeah we could just look in the kernel code but they should be making this stuff available in a stable, supported fashion. Oh well, maybe when Oracle cans the Solaris in-kernel server as a nasty security problem then they'll come around :-).
