Solaris SAMBA Setup Guide

Samba allows files to be shared between Solaris and Windows systems in a heterogeneous environment. It uses daemons like smbd and nmbd, and protocols like SMB. The main configuration file is /etc/sfw/smb.conf. It must be configured on the Solaris server with options like the workgroup name. Users can then be added to Samba by using smbpasswd. Shared directories can then be accessed from Windows clients after configuring the workgroup name and login settings.
