I am a bit new to the Service Management Facility (SMF) introduced into Solaris 10, but after getting my feet wet I kinda like it. These steps came in handy for me when I needed to add Samba to SMF.
Backup and Remove samba rc* scripts
bash-3.00# tar cvpf - /etc/rc?.d/???samba | gzip -c > /var/tmp/etc-rc-samba.tar.gz
a /etc/rc0.d/K03samba 1K
a /etc/rc1.d/K03samba link to /etc/rc0.d/K03samba
a /etc/rc2.d/K03samba link to /etc/rc0.d/K03samba
a /etc/rc3.d/S90samba link to /etc/rc0.d/K03samba
a /etc/rcS.d/K03samba link to /etc/rc0.d/K03samba
Verify the archive:
bash-3.00# gunzip < /var/tmp/etc-rc-samba.tar.gz | tar -tvpf -
Wait!! Let’s hold off on removing the samba rc* files until everything is working properly.
The following version and components of samba were installed at the time of this writing:
bash-3.00# pkginfo -l | grep samba
NAME: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (client)
DESC: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (client) 3.0.11
NAME: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (Root)
DESC: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (Root) 3.0.11
NAME: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (Usr)
DESC: samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX (Usr) 3.0.11
Create and edit the smb.conf file
In the /etc/sfw directory copy the example smb.conf-example file to smb.conf and edite to your liking. I like to copy the sample file to smb-<server_name>.conf.
bash-3.00# pwd
/etc/sfw
bash-3.00# ls -l
total 66
...edited...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 9975 Feb 12 11:01 smb.conf-example
bash-3.00# cp smb.conf-example smb-<server_name>.conf
bash-3.00# vi !$
Creating the control script
The control script: /lib/svc/method/samba will contain the following:
bash-3.00# cat > /lib/svc/method/samba
#! /sbin/sh
#
. /lib/svc/share/smf_include.sh
case “$1” in
‘start’)
echo ‘Starting samba services: ‘
/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -s /etc/sfw/smb-<server_name>.conf -D
/usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/sfw/smb-<server_name>.conf -D
;;
‘stop’)
/usr/bin/pkill smbd
/usr/bin/pkill nmbd
exit 0
;;
‘refresh’)
echo ‘Refreshing samba services:’
/usr/bin/pkill -HUP smbd
/usr/bin/pkill -HUP nmbd
exit 0
;;
*)
echo “Usage: $0 { start | stop | refresh }”
exit 1
;;
esac
#EOF
Change Permissions and ownership for the Control Script:
The control script needs to be executable.
bash-3.00# ls -l "/lib/svc/method/samba"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Feb 12 13:52 /lib/svc/method/samba
bash-3.00# chown :bin "/lib/svc/method/samba"
bash-3.00# chmod +x "/lib/svc/method/samba"
bash-3.00# ls -l !$
ls -l "/lib/svc/method/samba"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 465 Feb 12 13:52 /lib/svc/method/samba
The manifest: /var/svc/manifest/network/samba.xml
Create the manifest file and edit where appropiate:
bash-3.00# cat > /var/svc/manifest/network/samba.xml
<?xml version=”1.0??>
<!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM “/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1?>
<service_bundle type=”manifest” name=”SUNWsmbar:samba”>
<service name=”network/samba” type=”service” version=”1?>
<create_default_instance enabled=”false”/>
<single_instance/>
<!–
First of all, if the config file is not present,
then we needn”t bother with anything else.
–>
<dependency name=”config-file” grouping=”require_all” restart_on=”none” type=”path”>
<service_fmri value=”file:///etc/sfw/smb-server_name.conf”/>
</dependency>
<!–
If there”s no network, then there”s no point in running
–>
<dependency name=”loopback” grouping=”require_all” restart_on=”error” type=”service”>
<service_fmri value=”svc:/network/loopback:default”/>
</dependency>
<dependency name=”physical” grouping=”optional_all” restart_on=”error” type=”service”>
<service_fmri value=”svc:/network/physical:default”/>
</dependency>
<!–
Since Samba may be providing a home directory service,
it is as well that we ensure that the file-systems are
all mounted before it is started. This is not essential
but in general it is a good thing and doesn”t really hurt.
–>
<dependency name=”fs-local” grouping=”require_all” restart_on=”none” type=”service”>
<service_fmri value=”svc:/system/filesystem/local”/>
</dependency>
<!–
now we have the start stop and refresh methods
–>
<exec_method type=”method” name=”start” exec=”/lib/svc/method/samba start” timeout_seconds=”60?/>
<exec_method type=”method” name=”stop” exec=”/lib/svc/method/samba stop” timeout_seconds=”60?/>
<exec_method type=”method” name=”refresh” exec=”/lib/svc/method/samba refresh” timeout_seconds=”60?/>
<property_group name=”samba” type=”application”>
<stability value=”Evolving”/>
</property_group>
<property_group name=”startd” type=”framework”>
<propval name=”ignore_error” type=”astring” value=”core,signal”/>
</property_group>
<stability value=”Evolving”/>

Double-check the manifest for errors
bash-3.00# svccfg validate /var/svc/manifest/network/samba.xml
bash-3.00#
If there are errors in the file you will get an error like the below, just double-check the file for correctness. If no complaints from validating then all should be good.
bash-3.00# svccfg validate /var/svc/manifest/network/samba.xml

If all want well, verify that samba is running by trying to access a share through Windows (Start->Run, then enter the name of your server. E.g., \\server_name). You can also check the output of ps, though this may not mean everything is working.
bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep smb
root 269 1 0 14:31:10 ? 0:00 /usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -s /etc/sfw/smb-server_name.conf -D
root 273 269 0 14:31:10 ? 0:00 /usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -s /etc/sfw/smb-server_name.conf -D
root 276 1 0 14:31:10 ? 0:00 /usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -s /etc/sfw/smb-server_name.conf -D
root 688 643 0 15:26:59 pts/1 0:00 grep smb
Removing the older samba rc* files
Ok. If everything sent well, then old samba rc* files can be removed, but they do not have to be.
bash-3.00# rm -i /etc/rc?.d/???samba
rm: remove /etc/rc0.d/K03samba (yes/no)? yes
rm: remove /etc/rc1.d/K03samba (yes/no)? yes
rm: remove /etc/rc2.d/K03samba (yes/no)? yes
rm: remove /etc/rc3.d/S90samba (yes/no)? yes
rm: remove /etc/rcS.d/K03samba (yes/no)? yes
Don’t forget to remove /etc/init.d/samba
bash-3.00# rm -i /etc/init.d/samba
rm: remove /etc/init.d/samba (yes/no)? yes
bash-3.00#
The below resources helped me greatly and provide more in depth information than what I provide here.
