Abstract

The Solaris Operating System includes native support for SMB server and client operations, with full integration as the goal, including seamless interoperation with local and NFS operations. One interesting aspect of this integration is identity mapping - ensuring that a user gets the same access rights regardless of access point: local application, NFS or SMB.
