At a guess, you don't have all of the CIFS packages installed.  But I
don't know what you were missing or how it related to the problem.

If you don't have that line in pam.conf, then CIFS authentication just
won't work.  It's required.

I know that at one point one of the CIFS packages was missing a
dependency, and I suppose you might have gotten bit by that.  I thought
it was fixed somewhat recently.  From long experience with Solaris, I've
been conditioned to install "everything," so I never really notice
problems like that.

I haven't tried anything like that.  Mine are set up as mode 755.

Of course, I wouldn't expect that directory permissions on the share
have anything to do with authentication.
