Its sort of inferred in Doug's blog that turning on a sharesmb in zfs will allow the browsablity of the share in Windows Network Neighborhood. But its not totally clear to me. In my setup I have a share working fine if I explicitly access it from Windows in explorer with a \\servername\sharename or from Mac in Finder with a smb:// servername/sharename, but I don't see this computer in Network Neighborhood.

From Doug's blog:

When using SMB, things are a bit different:

zfs set sharesmb=on data

From a Windows browser, you will see:

    data_user1
    data_user2
    data_user2_database


Is there some setting the needs to be called to explicitly so a share is "browsable" in Network Neighborhood on Windows or in the Finder on Mac? Does smbd need to be told to allow browsablity?

Not having AD/RFC 2307 schema support is killer in a big shop. An Admin wants to manage UIDs/SIDs in one place, be it Java Dir. Services, Open Dir., or AD. I assume by "currently" you mean its in the works ;)

Currently, CIFS server doesn't authenticate with AD/RFC 2307 schema.

Goodday group.

Question1: Is there a sharectl/sharesmb/sharemgr command to config the share to be browsable on the Windows network?


Question2: The ephemeral IDs are nice. In a Windows only shop, no config required in the AD server. It has the "it works" option.

But if your in a true Solaris/Mac/Windows shop, where you need to support users that will log into all OSs, and need only one SID and one UID, don't ephemeral ID break down here? What are the options here? Will the integration into AD with RFC 2307 support installed work? I.e. http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/04/25/ solaris-10-ad-integration-version-3/

In other words how do you have the CIFS server authenticate with AD/RFC 2307 schema, retrieve the UID/GID from AD lookup and use these on the OpenSolaris side?

How do you set this up?

Thanks,
