Finally able to set up Solaris 10

I have been struggling a lot installing Solaris 10 lately on my home server. Especially, since all my other computers run Windows. I used Linux before on my home server and getting Samba installed was always a problem. Better still, it never worked.

Thanks to Random Garbage Generator blog entry, getting Samba to work was a breeze. I just made sure that my /etc/sfw/smb.conf file included the workgroup MSHOME and the user as root
and it ran immediately after i started the deamon /etc/init.d/samba start
See here the very simple smb.conf file, where [sambashare] is the name of the share on my server:

[global]
workgroup = SAMBAFS
server string = Samba Server
log file = /var/adm/samba_log.%m
security = SHARE

[sambashare]
comment = sambashare
path = /
user = root
read only = No
guest ok = Yes


Kudos guys. You made it really simple! Using windows explorer I can get to the share using \\myserver\sambashare on my development machines
