Hey folks, I've got a CentOS / RHEL (5.x) environment and am in the process of migrating the 5.3 file server over to an Oracle/Sun 7120 appliance. I want to keep my main 5.3 server as our NIS server but am moving NFS and Samba functions over to the appliance. NFS was a no brainer as one can imagine. Samba seems a bit trickier because of the authentication requirements in the ZFS server. They seem to want a domain controller which we don't have. Has anyone been here recently and can help with how to config the appliance for Samba but to authenticate from NIS ? thanks, -Alan -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV? ? ? ? ?? - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"

If not, then setup a normal SMB share on the NAS and mount it on the CentOS server, then rsync the data across -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

I'm very much interested on the 7120. How much space do you have on it and what is the price? The oracle web doesn't show the price.
