Hi All ; Need help for figuring out a solution for customer requirements. We will most probably be using Solaris 10u5 or OpenSolaris 10.5 . So I will be very please if you can state your opinion for Solaris 10 + SAMBA and OpenSolaris integrated Cifs serving capabilities. System will accessed by several windows systems. First requirement system is to have auditing capabilities. Customer wants to be able to see, who have done what at what time on files. Second requirement is about administering the file permissions. Here are some questions. (sorry for the question I have absolutely no knowledge about samba) 1) Can SAMBA get the user lists from active directory ? (I quess this is basic functionality and could be done) 2) Ones a owner ship for a directory assigned can the owner set the permissions from a windows workstation ? Thanks for the answers Best regards <http://www.sun.com/> http://www.sun.com/emrkt/sigs/6g_top.gif Mertol Ozyoney Storage Practice - Sales Manager Sun Microsystems, TR Istanbul TR Phone +902123352200 Mobile +905339310752 Fax +902123352222 Email <mailto:Ayca.Yalcin at Sun.COM> mertol.ozyoney at Sun.COM -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Mertol, You sent this to the ZFS-discuss alias/forum. You will have much better luck if you ask the CIFS server aliase/forum. http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/cifs-server/ Information regarding Samba in Solaris 10 is in the appropriate release notes. -- richard Mertol Ozyoney wrote:> > Hi All ; > > > > Need help for figuring out a solution for customer requirements. > > > > We will most probably be using Solaris 10u5 or OpenSolaris 10.5 .

Mertol, take a look at this article: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/kerberos_s10.jsp This is the track we are taking. However, note that I am having trouble with S10 U5 that I wasn''t with S10 U4 (see my note in the Wiki comments). I sit down with our Windows AD folks next week to look through the logs as this fails, so I may have a solution for it soon enough.

In terms of permissions, yes Samba links to AD fine. I haven''t done much testing of file ownership, but you can set permissions from a windows workstation. However, my testing earlier this year showed that Samba treats permissions very differently to a windows server. I had a lot of problems with inheritance although I understand there may be a bugfix out now to fix that. I haven''t tested auditing, but a quick google appears to show that it''s possible in samba: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-February/061045.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbdaudit/ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7251 - Auditing with Samba in 2004! My feeling is that Samba itself is well tested and very robust, but Samba with ZFS is considerably newer. Whatever you are looking to do, I would advise testing it thoroughly.
