Samba is a useful program to install if your Solaris machine is networked with other machines running Windows. It enables the Solaris system to appear in Network Neighborhood on Windows, thus enabling simple drag-and-drop transfer of files between the systems. Samba also enables the Solaris system to print to printers attached to a Windows system.
Samba is supplied in source form and you need to compile it. This isn't difficult! Before doing so, you need to have installed the g(un)zip program and a C compiler. All of these are freely downloadable from the Net and instructions for installing C and gzip are here.
