ok, if not mistaken you can do
- to start
/etc/rc3.d/S90samba start
OR
/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -D
- to stop
/etc/rc3.d/S90samba stop
OR
pkill smbd
pkill nmbd
- to start
/etc/rc3.d/S90samba start
OR
/usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sfw/sbin/nmbd -D
- to stop
/etc/rc3.d/S90samba stop
OR
pkill smbd
pkill nmbd

solaris is very popular OS and widely used as web server, mail server, directory / LDAP server, etc.
Many free and commercial S/W packages are developed and available on it.
solaris runs on sparc and x86 platforms and recently Sun released it as open source ( Open Solaris)
