[Samba] no network interfaces found on OpenIndiana (Illumos)

[Joeri Vanthienen]

Hi Tris,

Thank you for your reply! Really helpful.
I'm suspecting that my problem had something to do with virtualbox.
I deployed it today on a normal physical machine and it worked
immediatly, without the interfaces line.
I'll try again the interfaces line on my virtual machine.

Thanks.
joeri
