[Samba] Samba + NFS + Solaris 9

[Torey Alford]

Jason,

The "private" and samba configuration files are on the local disk on the
Solaris machine. Particularly in /opt/csw/*. The only thing NFS mounted
is /export from Machine A, which contains project folders and user
directories. I am currently contemplating putting Samba on Machine A,
seeing as this seems a bit impossible at the moment. I think this is the
best work-around for the time being, unless someone can give me another
solution.
