Solaris 10 - does it samba?

1) Use grep to verify that swat was added to /etc/services

# grep SWAT /etc/services

swat901/tcp # SWAT for SAMBA

2) Use/usr/sfw/bin/smbpasswd-a my-user-name

to add your users (the same user names as in windows.

3) Verify that samba server & client are running, use:

$ ps -ef | grep mbd

root54710 18:00:26 ?0:00 /usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D

root55110 18:00:27 ?0:06 /usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -D

my-user 48635470 12:41:14 ?0:18 /usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D

my-user 5935 54990 14:43:44 pts/70:00 grep mbd

4) On the Solaris samba host, use:

$ /usr/sfw/bin/smbclient -L My-Solaris-Host-Name

to verify that your user/password (and samba) is working on

your Solaris host/samba server.

5) After trying the proceeding steps, if you still can not access

the samba share files from windows, try modifing the following

smb.conf to match your systems (workgroup, users, IP network, Share names, Share mount points, etc.). The following is a copy of the smb.conf file that I use on a Solaris 10/x86 machine. It works for access from both Windows 2000 and from both Suse 9.2 and Ferdora Core 3 Linux machines that are part of my local network.
