The problem here is that currently SMB runs on the 5.3 box which is also where NIS runs, and people authenticate from there.

The ZFS appliance is going to be the new home for SMB but it does not have a native authentication system and seems to want a pretty elaborate one, not something nice and simple like the Linux Samba software.

if you're running multiple windows systems with a server and DONT have centralized authentication, you have a mess.

if you're not running windows systems, then why are you using SMB ? NFS is the native file sharing system for Unix and Linux systems.
