I have seen a few arguments on the openindiana groups, saying that the smb/server is not really as stable and possibly may not have the actual thruput for some reasons I did not understand, as samba. OK, so being a beginner of sorts... and lazy, not really craving to dig into something I know little or nothing about. That is, I am not well versed in any stretch of imagination in these discussions. I kind of lean to samba since I've run it for years on linux and at least have some familiarity with it. What do experienced users say about it? I have nothing too scientific to add. smb/server has always *felt* slower, and it also only does SMB 1.0 (well, at least in NexentaStor 3.1.5, though I believe they're adding SMB 2.x support in 4.0 which we're looking forward to). I always kind of wondered why Samba wasn't used -- seems to be faster, have far more features and of course is quite mature. Seems like a lot of redundant effort, though perhaps there were some good reason (licensing, etc.?) It is really funny that you heard or felt that smb/server is slower. I don't use smb/server and the one time I did, it had the lowest latency of all and users felt it was snappy. I have had problems with both smb/server and samba. The problem I had with smb/server seems to have been an edge case (accessible only through \\ip.addr and not through \\shortname or \\fqdn; see https://www.illumos.org/issues/1087) but other than that it was 'blazing' fast. samba has the features I want but the packaged samba gave me no end of trouble. The main issue with 3.5.x of samba on illumos was getting a long list of detached smbd processes over time that were doing nothing but were somehow slowing things down whether by taking up slots or doing something else and required a cron job to kill them off. Then there was the major winbind bug in the versions below 3.5.12. https://www.illumos.org/issues/2172 I am currently running 3.6 and will soon switch over to 4.1 for file serving.

I always see this bandied about. Following the Oracle documentation on how to join OI to a domain for the built in CIFS serving has worked for me, flawlessly on 10 different OI installations. Good for you. It partially worked for me. Access was only possible via \\ip.addr and not \\shortname. The latency using cifs was really good compared to samba but alas, access via \\ip.addr is not secured and therefore I ran into other problems and had to switch to samba. Every time I hear about people with issues with it, they're always using Samba. What benefit does using an additional module have over the built in CIFS server? Is it just that people want to use smb.conf instead of managing shares through zfs set sharesmb? The ACLs for ZFS shares give me as granular permissions as I get on Windows, and there's no mucking about with manual permissions changes on the OI side after they've been set initially; changing the permissions from Windows works as it would on a native Windows share. Well, I hear, for one, conflicting information on SMB2 support. samba 3.5 has some smb2 support while 3.6 does support smb2. samba does the full kerberos while built-in only does ntlm-v2.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana server networking problem.
Wait, what do you mean by the gateway ip is the same as your nic address? If you cannot ping 8.8.8.8 then you have a routing problem. I don't know what kind of setup you have got but I'd usually assign Internet addresses directly to the server and not assign private addresses and then use network address translation. We have a modem from the ISP that gives us 5 static IP Addresses. The last person I spoke to at the ISP's support said she reconfigured the modem so it should route all the static IP's to the router. The 'modem' you speak of sounds more like a router. 5 static ip addresses is the correct number of usable ip addresses in an 8 ip subnet where two are lost as the network and broadcast address and one will be used by the router. You should ask your ISP for 1) the ip address of the router and 2) ask them to set things back to normal on that router - no dhcp, none of this weird NAT setup that you are using. You should be the one assigning the static Internet addresses to your servers and not playing roulette with dhcp.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana, OpenSXCE and the rest...
Let me also state for the record that I never said OpenSXCE did not run on AMD platforms and that I am sorry if I don't have sparc and I run OI gave that impression. I am simply running production OI boxes on AMD boxes (and yes x64 is from AMD) and not about to switch to any other distro. If I do manage to get another physical server then I will see what options I have then. Sent from my school iPad On 9 Jun, 2013, at 12:16 AM, Andreas Wacknitz a.wackn...@gmx.de wrote: Hi all, I have just subscribed to this list, but I was lurking it for some time now. First, let me state something on behalf of Martin: OpenSXCE supports both, SPARC and x86! So, if you want to run a Solaris successor on older or newer SPARC's you should have a look at it (personally I intend to install it on my Blade 2000 as soon as if I got a replacement for my defective hard disk) because there is no free alternative (to my knowledge). Furthermore I see OpenSXCE (x86) as a valuable alternative to OpenIndiana. For me the most obvious difference between them is the package management system used. I personally prefer the old style packages just because I am more familiar with it and find the new pkg system too slow. OpenIndiana is on my hard disk at the moment and will probably stay until OpenSXCE matured a little bit. I am watching both developments and hope that they will mature over the time and grow communities! Alas both, OpenIndiana and OpenSXCE don't support the graphics card (Sun NVS-280) in my Ultra 24. I have tried to install an old NVidia graphics driver on OpenIndiana but the installation script fails removing the old NVDAgraphics package. I haven't invested that much time yet, maybe I will be able successfully install that old package someday. Second, unlike stated by some people here I think that there might be some interest in having a desktop OpenSolaris successor (be it OpenIndiana and/or OpenSXCE or something else). And IMO there is also some value for the commercial OpenSolaris successors: The desktop might be the door opener for the server environment. At least in smaller businesses I've already experienced it. And let me say here that I am a little bit surprised that there is still no USB 3 support in Illumos! Even servers will get these sooner or later… Nevertheless, for me is OpenIndiana/OpenSXCE a secure complement to the existing desktops. I personally use Windows and Mac OSX, but find the directions both are taking not so promising… Regards, Andreas ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

If your purpose is to provide a distribution with an up to date illumos at its core and the applications everybody expects on desk/lap-tops easily installable, then I consider your work as a really important and I would be ready helping you to live of it. But make it possible to easily install all available applications, whether provided by openindiana, opencsw or yourself directly. One of the missing ones seems to be asterisk, by the way. asterisk? Now that things seem to be more in the direction of gcc, you'll get asterisk eventually. The main problem with getting asterisk on Solaris was that its code made a lot of use of gcc'isms that Sun Studio CC does not handle. Do you need hardware support or just asterisk itself with sip support? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I may be wrong but I don't think a single connection will be split over two interfaces in LACP to achieve higher throughput. If you have concurrent connections then perhaps you may see more throughput. Even when I do a zfs send/recv is seems that reads are slower.

No, it wasn't intermittent on/off. From what I remember I would need

Not necessarily (if Christopher is right, and I don't remember needing

Just in case, you'd know to try this installation at a moment when a
downtime is acceptable, perhaps having shut down or frozen critical
services like a database (to avoid dirty shutdowns and long repairs),
and making a backup BE. Since you do expect a problem, better be ready ;)

Older samba supports NT domains but that, as you know, is not AD. Samba4, AFAIK, as a main feature, adds support for storage of group policies which are important for centralized domain management, and thus can replace Win2003/2008 domains. And probably adds support for newer protocols, encryption methods, etc. as applicable. samba4 can be a complete replacement for a Windows AD DC. That's more than just supporting group policies, it is tying directory services, kerberos and dns management all together in a manner that Windows clients and servers expect. Also, old and new Samba can be a DC backing up the native MS AD DC, which may be a step in migration strategy also. Wrong. Please make sure you know what you are talking about before you make assertions. Only samba4 can be a replication partner to a native MS AD DC. samba3 has no such ability but samba3 daemons will be necessary to provide SMB2/CIFS and printing services but none of the AD functions. But I disclaim that I know of this from aside, thought of implementing this stuff in a LAN but never got around to it so far.

You can easily plug in special debugging modules, and even tee off things so you can test new modules in parallel with real operations. Before spamdyke was available, I had developed a number of homebrew modules for spam analysis and control. That said, qmail isn't 100% sendmail compatible, so occasionally I ran into issues with unhandled sendmail options (until patched). I don't know whether postfix suffers from the same issue yet. postfix will be fine with sendmail options. postfix also support milters and you can use something like mimedefang to do the same although you will have write from scratch or go hunting. Since my Qmail based system does not inherently support IPV6 and would require significant patching I'm committed to move to Postfix before this becomes necessary. However, Postfix configuration is far more complex if you are someone that likes to understand the purpose of each option and it's impact to other options. I will also miss the simplicity of making a split-horizon caching DNS service via dnscache/tinydns when I need to go to IPV6 which is an important piece of any email system in a private networked LAN. postfix configuration is only complex because it offers more than qmail. If someone were to look at your setup, it would be complex for them too in the beginning. djbdns has a ipv6 patch available. Unless you need dnssec, i don't see why one needs to move off djbdns. But qmail or any patched ones is another story. Just the need to stop qmail-send to do any queue management is reason enough not to use qmail for incoming.

Maybe pass through is working for members of ADS.DOMAIN.EDU but not for KRB.REALM.EDU as those users are not part of ADS.DOMAIN.EDU. Maybe some packet captures would help see what the flow actually looks like?

However, my NetApp filer, which also operates in ADS.DOMAIN.EDU, has no problem mapping the shares for both the domain and the realm accounts.
