Sharing Files Between Windows and Oracle Solaris Systems

Language:

Chapter 1

The Oracle Solaris operating system (OS) provides Windows interoperability with the introduction of an integrated Server Message Block (SMB) server. The SMB server provides the ability to share files between a Windows and an Oracle Solaris system.

This document provides the information you need to integrate an Oracle Solaris SMB server into an existing Windows environment. It focuses on the information required to integrate an SMB server and how to use the SMB client. Windows topics are covered only when those topics affect the integration of an SMB server into the Windows environment.

This chapter covers the following topics:

SMB File Sharing Environment
Configuring the SMB Server – Process Overview
Utilities and Files Associated With the SMB Server and Client
Authentication, Directory, Naming, and Time Services
SMB Shares
Local SMB Groups
SMB Share Execution Properties
SMB Support for the Distributed File System
SMB Support for SMB Printing
SMB Auditing

Note - The Oracle Solaris OS provides a Server Message Block (SMB) protocol server and client implementation that includes support for numerous SMB dialects including SMB 2.1, SMB 2.0, and SMB 1. The SMB client implementation includes support for SMB 1.
