Samba Installation steps in solaris 8 sparc machine

depends on the version and type of security you're trying to set, but here's a simple test smb.conf (I've also included some comments in case you want to switch from local machine access to "domain" security authenticating against a WINS server - there is more involved there, but perhaps you can get base functionality working with the uncommented portion) - FYI - this is for a 3.x samba server, you will want to run <samba home dir>/bin/testparm against your smb.conf file to ensure the syntax is at least valid

#[global]

#workgroup = <workgroupnamehere>

#netbios name = <machineshortnamehere>

#

#security = domain

#printcap name = cups

#disable spoolss = Yes

#show add printer wizard = No

#

#idmap uid = 15000-25000

#idmap gid = 15000-25000

#winbind use default domain = Yes

#printing = cups

#

#[share]

#path = /export/home/

#comment = Home dirs

#guest ok = no

#read only = no

#browseable = no

#

#[homes]

#comment = Home Directories

#valid users = %S

#read only = No

later options you can play with in the global section include -

log level = 1

syslog = 0

log file = /var/samba/log/%I.log

max log size = 1000

smb ports = 139

read only = No

create mask = 0775

directory mask = 0775

case sensitive = No

map archive = No

csc policy = disable

strict locking = No

delete readonly = Yes

username map script = /usr/local/samba/bin/mapusers

config file = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%I

go to samba.org and look at the various faqs there too - they have quite a little variety of goodies to help you out - jeff
