Glad to see that you finally got here ;-)

I have no idea if they will work, are they available for a Sparc
computer running Solaris 11 ?

What type of Samba machine are you trying to set up, a 'client' or an
AD DC ?

If the packages you have found are not for a 4.x.x version and you
cannot find any that are, you might want to consider compiling Samba
yourself, if this is possible on Sparc. I seem to remember someone
doing this on Solaris 11, but whether this was on Sparc, I don't know.

Yes, but what do want to set the 'server' up as ?
You can set up Samba as a:
standalone server
NT4-style PDC (not recommended, at least by myself)
AD DC
Windows ADS client

What version of Samba are the packages for ?

What version of Windows are you connecting to ?

I am running Solaris 11, which includes samba 4.4.14.    The packaging 
method has changed from Solaris 10, and you need a support contract to 
register the system for the latest version.   I have no idea if Solaris 
10 includes samba 4.x.

I think to configure or rebuild Samba on Solaris 11 as an AD Directory 
Server/Domain controller would be difficult, since Solaris does not 
include the Heimdal version of Kerberos. Solaris 11 also includes its 
own SMB implementation, which I have not tried out yet, but is probably 
simple enough if you are configuring as a client.
