St. Louis OpenSolaris User Group - STLOSUG
About Us
The St. Louis OpenSolaris User Group brings together everyone in the St. Louis metro area who's interested in learning more about the OpenSolaris and Solaris operating systems. Whether you're new to OpenSolaris or a seasoned sysadmin, a developer, or simply a curious computer user, we encourage you to join us.
STLOSUG is a SIG (special interest group) affiliated with the St. Louis UNIX Users Group.
Next Meeting: Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Topic: Implementing CIFS services in OpenSolaris
We'll take a look at the implementation of CIFS-related services in OpenSolaris, both client and server. The focus will be primarily on workgroup mode, but we'll also talk about domain mode, and cover the various name mappings available. In the end, we'll see how ZFS filesystems can be shared via CIFS, and how an OpenSolaris host can connect to other CIFS servers.
