zfs discuss - Nov 2009 - ZFS CIFS, smb.conf (smb/server) and LDAP

All;

I am deeply sorry if this topic has been rehashed, checksummed, 
de-duplicated and archived before.

But I just need a small clarification.

/etc/sfw/smb.conf is necessary only for smb/server to function properly 
but is smb/server SMF service necessary for ZFS sharesmb to work

I am trying to setup an open solaris file server acting as a Windows PDC 
with SAMBA/LDAP integration on the open solaris box. (with ZFS of course...)

I read a BLOG which says ZFS CIFS has nothing to do with smb/server but 
it seems i cannot get ZFS sharesmb to work without smb/server SMF service.

What exactly is the dependency here?

On a separate note, I''ve actually gotten the shares to work and also 
successfully gotten the Windows "Previous Version" tab relating to ZFS
snapshots. It''s awesome!

But now I''m facing a heck of a lot of problems getting SAMBA integrated
with LDAP. (not this list i know..)

For any interested and willing to advice I am using Sun DSEE 7.0 and
I''m
facing a heck of a lot of problems with the LDAP DIT structure.

Warmest Regards
Steven Sim

CIFS services uses ZFS sharesmb property, but only for OpenSolaris.
It is a nop on Solaris 10.

Samba for Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris.  Configure as per directions for  
other
file systems.

Sorry for discussing off topic subject here. We will try to find some other
forum soon. I am also exploring options of integrating
opensolaris/ZFS/OpenDS/Samba to be used as domain controller to replace the
current Linux/OpenLDAP/Samba DC. I have yet to find useful material. If you are
interested, we can find a suitable forum to discuss.
