[Samba] Samba + NFS + Solaris 9

[Jason Signalness]

Torey,

We used a similar configuration for quite some time.  Are your Samba 
binaries (in particular, the "private" directory) on a local disk, or an 
NFS mount?  We were trying to run Samba from an NFS mount, to share out 
other NFS mounts.  It would not work unless the Samba binaries were on a 
local (non-nfs) disk.

Hope that helps.
