[Samba] Need help compiling Samba on Solaris

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Documentation on samba.org is a little iffy -  stuff involving domain 
trusts and idmap has really been thin.   I had to rely on google 
searches to find info on changes for idmap between 3.0.x and 3.4.x

Are you using  a WINS server?   Active Directory does not require one-  
and I suspect Samba 3 as a ADS domain member might not either, but may 
help fix browsing issue.   Did you specify the workgroup in smb.conf?  
That may also help.

Was a computer account created in AD for your samba machine?

A google search at some point found a solaris or opensolaris forum blurb 
about ldap.  Sun's samba build using Sun LDAP client with some work 
arounds.    Otherwise openldap is the default.  When you run configure, 
it will say which ldap features are supported.   Effectively, if you 
want AD support you need openldap.


I think Win 2008 R2 may increase security levels compared to Win 
2008.    I think it is safe to assume samba 3.0.x is not Win 2008 R2 
compatible.
