Hi Michael,
Did you install Samba or are you using the "sharesmb" ZFS property?
The CIFS service you get from setting "sharesmb" in ZFS is the
in-kernel CIFS service, which is why it can only be used in the global
zone.  NFS is the same way.  I believe there is effort to make NFS
serving available in non-global zones, but I'm not aware of a similar
effort for CIFS.

If you want CIFS sharing in a non-global zone, you'll need to install
Samba.  Since that's not something provided by OmniOS, the location of
config files would be determined by the package author.

HTH,
Eric
