Viewing Solaris File System From Windows Client Using Lanman

Hi

I currently have a Windows mapped network drive on a PC which is connected to the network. Also on the network is a Solaris box running Solaris 8 which I can view (root file system) from the Windows PC.
The mapped network syntax is sharename\\server name. When I select this mapped drive on the Windows machine I am prompted for a username and password which then takes me to the root directory where I can access all Solaris file systems (from Windows). This share was setup by a previous employee, however the developers have requested that I setup another share as mentioned above. We do not have samba installed on this machine and Im told that this share was setup using Lanman.

Has anyone used Lanman for this purpose?

If yes I would appreciate any information on how you create the share, what files need to be modified or anything else that needs to be considered.

Thanks

i guess you are using cifs. you need to understand how files are shared from the solaris machine - using cifs? what is the IP address and share name? then you need to learn how to map a drive in windows using this information.

I guess what you use is documented here:
Solaris PC NetLink 1.0 Administration Guide - Sun Microsystems

Thanks for the feedback especially the URL for the doc on PC Netlink.
Moving away slightly from my original question of adding a new share, I now only need to add a new user to the existing share. Here is what I have so far.

Code:
 
# /opt/lanman/bin/net share
 
Share name   Resource                        Remark

The existing share is APPSERVE C:\ which only has one user assigned ADMIN.

Anybody know the correct syntax that will allow me to add another user
to this existing share with the same permissions as admin. I have looked
at two commands (below) and there usage but this is still not clear to me:

/opt/lanman/bin/net perms and /opt/lanman/bin/net user

Any suggestions

Thanks
