How to Join a Workgroup

   1.

      Start the CIFS Service.

      # svcadm enable -r smb/server

      If the following warning is issued, you can ignore it:
      svcadm: svc:/milestone/network depends on svc:/network/physical, which has multiple instances
   2.

      Join the workgroup.

      # smbadm join -w workgroup-name

      The default workgroup name is WORKGROUP. If you want to use the default, skip this step.
   3.

      Establish passwords for CIFS workgroup users.

      CIFS does not support UNIX or NIS style passwords. The SMB PAM module is required to generate CIFS style passwords. When the SMB PAM module is installed, the passwd command generates additional encrypted versions of each password that are suitable for use with CIFS.

         1.

            Install the PAM module.

            Add the following line to the end of the /etc/pam.conf file to support creation of an encrypted version of the user's password for CIFS.
