[Sunhelp] SAMBA newbie

I was a Samba newbie as well, until yesterday. :)

On my SWAT on a linux box we have Home, Globals, Shares, Printers, Status,
View and Password. Hmm, I've just checked on a Solaris 2.7 box that was
setup by someone else and it has the same. The main page should have extra
options at the top, namely Globals, Shares and Printers.

You should be able to add users through the Passwords section. As to where
everyhting else has gone, I'm stumped. Do you perhaps have to add a user in
the Password section first?

Will.
