Hi, thanks to David Bustos who pointed me to bugID 5093847 and who also provided a workaround I am now able run samba under a specific project context. According to this bug it is necessary to put either a method_credential or method_profile element into the method_context section. I had to delete my current samba manifest and add the method_credential into the xml file and import again. After that the processes were assigned to the defined project.
xml configuration: <method_context working_directory=':default' project='samba' resource_pool=':default'> <method_credential user='root' group='root' supp_groups=':default' privileges=':default' limit_privileges=':default'/> </method_context> mark This message posted from opensolaris.org
