Solaris uses a SysV init (as do some linux distros). Look in
"/etc/init.d/*". All of the startup files for various services live
there. Create a file in that directory named something like
"samba.server". There are several other directories under /etc which
control the services started or stopped at a given run level. Look
in /etc/rc[0123].d for some examples. These scripts are links (hard
or soft) to the scripts in "/etc/init.d". Within the rc?.d
directories, scripts starting with "S" start a service and those
beginning in "K" stop a service. The numbers create a sequence of
initialization, so that you can rely on services started earlier in
that run level.
Run level 3 is designated for multiuser operation with filesharing,
so this is where I start samba. Look in your source pacakage for
"examples/svr4-startup/*". This is a proper script written by Timo
Knuutila for all systems using a SysV style init.
Good luck,
Chris
