Samba on Solaris 10

Hi harry:

You can use swat for configure the smb.conf file, the shared resources and the services, you should add the swat in the port 901 in /etc/services and then you can access with http:\\yoourserver:901 in your browser.

I recommend you only use swat for the first configuration.

Regards.

Hi, here is a detailed description on how i have setup Samba, as as SMF service, it covers the SMF setup and the Swat configuration. I converted it from a word document, so the formatting is not verry nice, sorry.

Samba

We use the samba from sun (SFW) its configuration files are in /etc/sfw

Samba Setup

First we remove the old startup scripts:

# ls -l /etc/rc?.d/?samba

-rwxr--r--6 rootsys 324 Jan 14 2006 /etc/rc0.d/K03samba

-rwxr--r--6 rootsys 324 Jan 14 2006 /etc/rc1.d/K03samba

-rwxr--r--6 rootsys 324 Jan 14 2006 /etc/rc2.d/K03samba

-rwxr--r--6 rootsys 324 Jan 14 2006 /etc/rc3.d/S90samba

-rwxr--r--6 rootsys 324 Jan 14 2006 /etc/rcS.d/K03samba

# rm /etc/rc?.d/?samba

# mv /etc/init.d/samba /etc/init.d/nonsmf_samba

Then we need a configuration:

# cd /etc/sfw

# cp swamba.conf-exampel samba.conf

Create a control script /opt/local/lib/svc/method/samba which contains

#!/sbin/sh

#

case "$1" in

start)

/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D

/usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -D

;;

stop)

pkill smbd

pkill nmbd

;;

*)

echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"

exit 1

;;

esac

exit 0

The manifest in /root/samba/samba.xml should contain

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM '/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1'>

<service_bundle type='manifest' name='WISWsamba:samba'>

<service name='site/samba' type='service' version='0'>

<create_default_instance enabled="false"/>

<single_instance/>

<!--

First of all, if the config file is not present,

then we needn't bother with anything else.

-->

<dependency name="config-file" grouping="require_all" restart_on="none" type="path">

<service_fmri value="file:///etc/sfw/smb.conf"/>

</dependency>

<!--

If there's no network, then there's no point in running

-->

<dependency name='loopback' grouping='require_all' restart_on='error' type='service'>

<service_fmri value='svc:/network/loopback:default'/>

</dependency>

<dependency name='physical' grouping='optional_all' restart_on='error' type='service'>

<service_fmri value='svc:/network/physical:default'/>

</dependency>

<!--

Since Samba may be providing a home directory service,

it is as well that we ensure that the file-systems are

all mounted before it is started. This is not essential

but in general it is a good thing and doesn't really hurt.

-->

<dependency name='fs-local' grouping='require_all' restart_on='none' type='service'>

<service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local'/>

</dependency>

<!--

now we have the start stop and refresh methods

-->

<exec_method name='start' type='method' exec='/opt/local/lib/svc/method/samba start' timeout_seconds='60'>

<method_context/>

</exec_method>

<exec_method name='stop' type='method' exec='/opt/local/lib/svc/method/samba stop' timeout_seconds='60'>

<method_context/>

</exec_method>

<property_group name='samba' type='application'>

<stability value='Evolving'/>

</property_group>

<property_group name='startd' type='framework'>

<propval name='ignore_error' type='astring' value='core,signal'/>

</property_group>

<stability value='Evolving'/>

<!--

A description of the Service

-->

<template>

<common_name>

<loctext xml:lang='C'>Samba Server</loctext>

</common_name>

<documentation>

<manpage title='samba' section='1M'/>

<doc_link name='samba.org' uri='http://httpd.samba.org'/>

</documentation>

</template>

</service>

</service_bundle>

Import the manifes

# svccfg import /root/samba/samba.xml

Start Samba

# svcadm enable samba

SWAT Setup

First, add an entry in /etc/services for swat:-

swat901/tcp # Samba Web Administration Tool

now, create a file containing a valid inted.conf-style entry for swat, for example /inet.swat:

# echo swatstreamtcpnowaitroot/usr/sfw/sbin/swatswat>>inet-swat

Now run inetconv as follows:-

# inetconv -i inet-swat

swat -> /var/svc/manifest/network/swat-tcp.xml

Importing swat-tcp.xml ...Done

Now swat can be enabled (Note the service name):-

# inetadm -e svc:/network/swat/tcp:default

List the service as follows:-

# inetadm-lsvc:/network/swat/tcp:default

SCOPENAME=VALUE

name="swat"

endpoint_type="stream"

proto="tcp"

isrpc=FALSE

wait=FALSE

exec="/usr/sfw/sbin/swat"

user="root"

default bind_addr=""

default bind_fail_max=-1

default bind_fail_interval=-1

default max_con_rate=-1

default max_copies=-1

default con_rate_offline=-1

default failrate_cnt=40

default failrate_interval=60

default inherit_env=TRUE

default tcp_trace=FALSE

default tcp_wrappers=FALSE

Now we can connect to SWAT with the url:

http://<hostname>:901/
