Since VERITAS is too shy to announce it on the Samba lists (I
think they don’t want to spam people with commercials) I thought
I’d mention it for them :-).
For everyone who has wanted an officially supported Samba on
Solaris solution, supported by Sun, check out the VERITAS
whitepaper at :
www.veritas.com/us/article/article-061901.html
Yes, it’s Samba based (currently 2.0.9). VERITAS is working with
us to add new stuff like MS-DFS and MMC support to 2.2 as well.
The reason I’m so pleased is that I’ve been trying to get Sun to
officially support Samba for some time now (with the valliant
attempts of Dave Collier-Brown and Don DeVitt at Sun) and now, with
this joint announcement, they’ve done it !
Thanks to everyone at VERITAS and Sun who made this (finally 🙂
happen ! Special thanks to Tamir Ram and Shirish Kalele at VERITAS.
Now people have a good business and technical response to doubts
about running Samba on Solaris.

Jeremy Allison,
