samba - Aug 2004 - Windows Server 2000 Server installation

Is there a procedure for installing and configuring SAMBA 3.0 for a Windows
2000 server so as to share files from the Windows 2000 server for Sun
Solaris 8 workstations?

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

I think you're looking at the wrong bit of software.  Samba is written
to work with the SMB/CIFS protocol - a protocol that Windows supports
natively.

What you probably need is something like "Windows Services for UNIX"
which provides NFS services under Windows.  Otherwise you'd need to
install Samba on each of the workstations so they could understand
Windows shares.

I hope this helps,

You just need to use smbmount to mount the Windows shares on the Sun
workstations.
