There's two CIFS/9000 packages: client and server.  The client bundle is
sharity, and the server bundle is Samba 2.0.6.

I've installed CIFS/9000, client and server, and I'm currently running the
server (Samba) with the identical smb.conf I was using with Samba,
compiled from source.  It *is* Samba.  They claim to have added ACL
support, but I haven't gotten around to checking what, if anything, has
been changed/added.

Try:
http://www.software.hp.com/ and click on the CIFS/9000 link in the
Featured Products list on the right side of the window.

Again, the Client depot gets you Sharity, and the Server depot gets you
Samba.
