I have a sparc sunos 5.9 machine that I would like to run non-root
samba (my home directory only) on, to be mounted on a windows XP 2002
sp2 machine. I can't upgrade the solaris machine, though I might
could point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a private dir.
Is there any hope of running samba on a non-standard port and mounting
it on windows xp?

Why do you think that *any* LD_LIBRARY_PATH would be required? The samba
binaries provided in Solaris were linked correctly in the first place.

If you succeed in changing samba's ports how do you expect a Windows
machine to ever find the share?

One way is to tunnel the connection from a local adapter over SSH. Let
Windows look to the normal port on the local machine's "extra" adapter but
have SSH redirect it to some arbitrary port on the remote end.

I may have been unclear. I don't have root access, much less hardware
access, on the solaris machine. Given this, could you be a little
more specific about your ssh suggestion? I've done very little
hacking with ssh.

Samba will have to be installed in my home directory, that's why I
thought I might need LD_LIBRARY_PATH hacking.

Even if it was installed in your home directory, it wouldn't need any
LD_LIBRARY_PATH hackery. In fact, nothing you compile should ever require such
hacks. -R, man, -R. Besides, you should be able to use the system samba
binaries and just mount them at a different config file.

You're going to have trouble binding the ports, and windows isn't going to
enjoy that. You might be better using apache on a high port with DAV, for
example, instead of trying to get samba to play nicely.
