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.<\/p>\n

Backup and Remove samba rc* scripts<\/strong>
\n
\nbash-3.00# tar cvpf - \/etc\/rc?.d\/???samba | gzip -c > \/var\/tmp\/etc-rc-samba.tar.gz
\na \/etc\/rc0.d\/K03samba 1K

Verify the archive:<\/strong>
\n
\nbash-3.00# gunzip < \/var\/tmp\/etc-rc-samba.tar.gz | tar -tvpf -<\/code><\/p>\n

Wait!! Let\u2019s hold off on removing the samba rc* files until everything is working properly.<\/p>\n

The following version and components of samba were installed at the time of this writing:

If all want well, verify that samba is running by trying to access a share through Windows (Start->Run<\/strong>, then enter the name of your server. E.g.,\u00a0<\/span>\\\\server_name<\/strong>). You can also check the output of ps, though this may not mean everything is working.<\/p>\n
