+Hi and thanks for this great software.
+
+Solaris (and other sysv) machines have a standardized way of
+starting and shutting down services (you may well know that already).
+
+Here's a piece of code one could place under /etc/init.d
+and create appropriate link from, say
+
+ /etc/rc2.d/S99samba.server
+
+to make smbd start and stop automatically with system bootups and
+shutdowns. Each one should edit the lines containing the
+daemon calls to agree with his/her installation (the code below
+works with the defaults) and workgroup setup (we use the -G and -n
+options).
+
+
+I hope this will be of use --- at least it is for me.
+
+Yours,
+
+Timo Knuutila
