Samba on Solaris 9, Sparc.

hi guys,
This is prolly more of a dummies question, but here goes.

I want to make my Ultra 5 workstation into a samba server.

I have solaris 9 installed with the latest patch cluster.

if I do:
pkginfo | grep samba

I get :
# pkginfo | grep samba
system SUNWsmbac samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserv
er for UNIX (client)
system SUNWsmbar samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserv
er for UNIX (Root)
system SUNWsmbau samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserv
er for UNIX (Usr)

so, i go to /etc/rc3.d and try to start samba:

/etc/rc3.d/samba start

it doesnt do crap, now mind you I have done nothing, and i cant even find the smb.conf file.

I have worked with samba in linux b4, and have had good success, unfortunately i am new to SunOS, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tnx,
Brian

case "$1" in
start)
[ -f /etc/sfw/smb.conf ] || exit 0

/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -D
;;
....
...

in /etc/sfw/ is a smb.conf.example so if you edit it to your need and rename it to smb.conf it will start...

There's not really a whole lot specific to Solaris 9 to know. The Samba Website has lots of dumentation.
