Wrong, it is unnecessary to be running Samba to mount Windows shares in
Linux.

Google "sharity lite".

If you mean access shares on a NT/2K3 box from a Linux box running
samba, then yes, nici o problema.
Haven't done it using Sol x86, but samba should be samba anywhare, so...

No. It has nothing to do with Samba and everything to do with smbfs being
included in the kernel. Linux and FreeBSD have smbfs, Solaris does not.

thanks, this was the answer I was looking for
thanks to you all ---- it is appreciated.

I stand corrected. How well, or less good, is Solaris X86 in performance
and stability with Samba and some 25+ users? Only used it privately..

I which way?
We're OpenLDAP based, currently running it on FreeBSD.
I'd guess it wouldn work about the same on SolX86.

Not that is should matter too much. We'll probably use a Sun setup for
NFS/SMB/database only for some time.
It's expected to be 2x Fire2100 hooked into a StorEdge3511.

Remaining infraservices, incl. LDAP, running on either Debian or RHEL,
meaning that users will authenticate on that system, and use SMB
services on the Sun setup.

See any [samba] problems here?

If you want ADS support, you have to recompile samba by yourself and cannot
use the one supplied by Sun.

No real problems, just more work for setting it up. You'll need also:

.. MIT Kerberos 5
.. OpenSSL (can use the one in Solaris 10 though)
.. Cyrus SASL
.. OpenLDAP

If you want pam and/or winbind support you should recompile everything as
32/64 bit (for the pam/nss libraries), so no simple
../configure; make; make install

Thanks for the info, good to know. Still about choosing system, so...
