[Samba] Solaris 10 Samba share will not show all directories

Presumably neither the solaris server nor the Mac OSX machine  is the
PDC.   Does the Mac OSX have the ability to just share the folder
directly as a samba share?    I had a quick look at my OS X Snow Leopard
book -  it should be an option.

Or how about if you do an explicit NFS mount on the solaris server,
instead of using autofs (i.e the /net ) mount?      I am guessing that
by default nfs v3 is being used. 

What happens if you create the directories directly on server1 or
shareserver (via unix commandline.)     Do you have any problems with
samba shares that are not NFS remounts?

Are the unix uids and gids consistent between the two servers?    What
are the displayed permissions on folder21, folder22 , aaaa etc?
