I just install samba.1.9.18p10 version on my Solaris 2.6. Our network setup: the SAMBA server is on the same network with my NT Server PDC and NT workstation within PDC domain. I also have another subnet that have WinNT and Win95. We also use NIS domain server for our UNIX home user account. smb.conf: workgroup = NTPDC_NAME server string = SMBSERVER_NAME host allow = .... load printers = yes security=share username map = /opt/samba-1.9.18p10/lib/smbusers.map I started the smbd and nmbd, and verified the ./var/log.smb and log.nmb. The log.smb has an error message bind failed on port 139 socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use) - modified /etc/services in my NIS home server per samba instruction: netbios-ssn 139/tcp netbios-ns 137/udp - modified /etc/inetd.conf in my SAMBA server netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd Regards,
