What I'd try if I couldn't pkgadd is create the datasets above, then install the packages on a staging box, and rsync those directories (for the initial rsync bit, doing it with tar). It could come from a VBox used only for that and kept extra clean. Honestly, that would probably be better than trying to build locally (you'll probably miss headers and stuff anyway).

Not run vbox on the filer :-) Yup, just as an easy way to wet a staging Solaris on any workstation rather than dedicate a system. And I just checked that those 7320 do run x86, not sparc, so it'd work :-) Forrest, if you do get an answer from Oracle, I'd like to hear about it.

At work we're using the ZFS appliances on a big scale. As it's documented in the manual, you are not suppossed to work on the OS shell, it's view only. If you do not want to loose your support, you better don't mess around on the shell. Keep also in mind, that your changes might not survive an OS upgrade and might make the system unstable.

Here are the changes, not huge ones, but useful: - include patch for group sorting: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7588 Not a Samba bug per se, but a limitation of S10/OI that the patch works around; - Rename nss modules to the Solaris standard (nss_name.so.1), rather than the inadequate libnss_name.so.1 that was used before; - Add nss_wins.so.1 (following Solaris Samba there, it probably had been overlooked); - Since they're not libraries, and the .1 is defined by the system, both above are grouped into a more neutral CSWsamba-nss package, replacing CSWlibnss-winbind1; - Create system symlinks, to make it more usable: the NSS modules above are used in nsswitch,conf, which will look in /usr/lib and /usr/lib/64 only, also, PAM modules in pam.conf will be looked for in /usr/lib/security and /usr/lib/security/64. To avoid the users tinkering with those, I made two new special packages containing only symlinks: CSWsamba-nss-system-links & CSWsamba-pam-system-links They create /usr/lib/nss_winbind_csw.so.1, /usr/lib/security/pam_winbind_csw.so, and so on. The links are relative, so they can be used properly with different rootpaths. They add the _csw suffix to the name to avoid conflicting with the Solaris packages there. To use NSS, they'll be winbind_csw and wins_csw in nsswitch.conf, to use PAM, pam_winbind_csw.so and pam_smbpass_csw,so in pam.conf. Who is using any of those to validate all?

In general, I think it's a good idea to subscribe to specific named releases instead of the logical stable/testing branches. If you subscribe to e.g. 'testing', you won't control, at which point in time you'll be getting multiple updates when going from one release to the other. If you subscribe to 'dublin' or 'kiel', you will control the exact moment when the upgrade is done at your site.
