Solaris

Hi guys

I need to create one directory on my Solaris 11 box and then share that directory on my LAN. I have only one disk of 500 GB which is more than enough for my needs.

I read SMB guide for Solaris and there is no guide how to achive share only on one directory, it has only tutorials for hole disks

After all is possible to share only one directory using smb ?

Thanks

this is my smb.conf *note the path variable*

Code:

[global]
workgroup = yourworkgroup
server string = yourserver
netbios name = yourserver
log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m
max log size = 50
local master = no
dns proxy = no
#name resolve order = host

[share]
comment = unix share sol10u8
path = /mnt/share20/vol_share_mirror    
writable = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes

You should create a smbuser with 777 access right to the directory /mnt/share20/vol_share_mirror


Finally "svcadm enable samba"

I know for Samba, but where is difference between CIFS and samba ?

CIFS is just another name for samba and is used as a filetype descriptor to mount windows share, as example below


..and samba is the server
