The following files support SMB activities on Oracle Solaris systems:
/etc/auto_direct
/etc/dfs/sharetab
/etc/smbautohome
/var/smb/smbpasswd
Use the /etc/auto_direct file to automatically mount an SMB share when a user accesses the mount point. To use the automount feature, you must store a persistent password for authentication to mount the share. See Storing SMB Persistent Passwords.
For instructions and examples, see How to Add an Automounter Entry for an SMB Share.
The /etc/dfs/sharetab file contains a record of all the active shares in the system. Each entry in the file describes a share, which includes the mount point, share name, protocol, and share properties. See the sharetab (4) and share_smb (1M) man pages.
The /etc/smbautohome file is used to define the automatic sharing rules to be applied when a user connects to the SMB server. For more information, see SMB Autohome Shares and the smbautohome (4) man page.
The /var/smb/smbpasswd file stores the SMB passwords of Oracle Solaris users. The Oracle Solaris SMB server uses the SMB passwords to authenticate the connected Oracle Solaris users. For more information, see the pam_smb_passwd (5) man page.
