Hey folks,
I've got a CentOS / RHEL (5.x) environment and am in the process of migrating the 5.3 file server over to an Oracle/Sun 7120 appliance.
I want to keep my main 5.3 server as our NIS server but am moving NFS and Samba functions over to the appliance.
NFS was a no brainer as one can imagine. Samba seems a bit trickier because of the authentication requirements in the ZFS server. They seem to want a domain controller which we don't have.
Has anyone been here recently and can help with how to config the appliance for Samba but to authenticate from NIS ?
thanks, -Alan

I don't know that particular NAS, but does it allow you to setup an anonymous SMB user?
If not, then setup a normal SMB share on the NAS and mount it on the CentOS server, then rsync the data across
