Seems pretty straight forward to me now that I did it. I like that its
management is part of zfs and besides the little hiccup with that
pam.conf mod and having to 're-enter ' your password it was all a pretty
good experience.
Feels like a couple of little changes (include the missing package in
the initial install, and include the pam.conf mod from the beginning)
could make it a very easy way to share drives with windows.
Would you like to share your drives with windows? zfs set sharesmb=on
/pool /it's that easy!
If people were interested they could delve deeper for filesystem stuff
and abe etc but none of that would be necessary.

My experience with it for a very simple set up has been less than
stellar. But also, I was using it on S11, which has it still evolving,
and a good part of the issues (not all) were from that evolution and
the ever changing syntax.
But seriously, even if it worked perfectly, how useful is it to spend
Illumos/OI resources on that? What does IPS do that Samba cannot? Is
it worth continuing it without the access that Oracle has to MS
documentation and their resources?
Why not join forces with Samba and focus on enhancing that experience
rather than have a 3rd tool, less popular than Samba and less
supported than Solaris CIFS?
