[Samba] Solaris binary distribution question /usr/local

[Aaron Bennett]

Solaris packages support both relocatable and non-relocatable files in 
the same package.  It sounds to me like in this package, the lock files 
are marked as non-relocatable.  You'd have to unspool the package with 
pkgtrans and try to modify the prototype file, changing the absolute 
paths to relative ones.  In my opinion, you'll be running samba much 
faster if you just build it from source.

Luck,
