2.2.9 Disable Samba Support - Make sure that /etc/sfw/smb.conf does not exist. Note this check is only applicable for Solaris 10 >= 11/06

Information

Solaris includes the popular open source Samba server for providing file and print services to Windows-based systems. This allows a Solaris system to act as a file or print server on a Windows network, and even act as a Domain Controller (authentication server) to older Windows operating systems. Note that on Solaris releases prior to 11/06 the file /etc/sfw/smb.conf does not exist and the service will not be started by default even on newer releases.

Solution

To disable Samba, run the appropriate command for your Solaris OS level -
Solaris 10 <= 11/06
/etc/init.d/samba stop
mv /etc/sfw/smb.conf /etc/sfw/smb.conf.CIS
