I installed samba 3.0. It works. But the only problem is that the whole binary package is > 800MB (Solaris 2.8) It's a big package to fit in a 2g of / partition. Is there way we can reduce the size of the binary by select function/local/etc? I don't need all the funcations it supports. Only support UNIX nfs data to PC. thanks, Jeffrey

For some reason (one of which is a bug in the 3.0.0 release) you have compiled with -g, which, depending on the compiler, can do this :-) You should upgrade to 3.0.2a anyway.

800MB seem very large, or do you calculate size with all possible dependencies? Even so it seem large. I have had Samba on a Linux system where the total size is smaller than 800MB. Another possibility would be to use "Unix services for Windows". It is a package which you can download from microsoft.com. It contains many standard GNU utils (even gcc I think!) including NFS support. Or simply use FTP. Windows Explorer can browse FTP servers (though not optimally).> I installed samba 3.0.
