What you refer to as the "smb server in solaris/opensolaris" is in fact Samba, which sits on top of a plain unix system. This has limitations in the areas of user accounts and ACLs, among others. The new CIFS project provides a CIFS server that's integrated from the ground up, including the filesystem itself. > 2) I think samba.org has an implementation of CIFS protocol, to make > a unix-like operating system to be a SMB/CIFS server.

I'm not sure what you mean by "we can not handle the services yet". As mentioned above, OpenSolaris now has 2 separate ways to provide SMB/CIFS services, and has had NFS support since... oh, about when Sun invented NFS, I'd guess. :) And it's way more solid than Linux's > Ok, i'm very confuse, but is not just my fault, i think is a little > complicated all this efforts "without" a glue, don't you agree? > And in the top of all, is a need to have an agent to implement HA > services on it... i want implement a SMB/CIFS server on > solaris/opensolaris, and don't know if we have the solution in ou > community or not, and if there is an agent to provide HA or we need > to create a project to implement that...
