Hi, Can anyone help with this? I've installed samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8. I have used the commands /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a/sbin/smbd -D /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a/sbin/nmbd -D to start the daemons, however both fail to start because they cannot find the following files /opt/local/packages/samba/private/secrets.tdb /opt/local/packages/samba/lib/codepages/unicode_map.850 /opt/local/packages/samba/lib/codepages/unicode_map.IS08859-1 /opt/local/packages/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid /opt/local/packages/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid I don't understand why the files are being searched for under a directory tree which is different from that which samba is installed in. eg the error indicated the files are being looked for in /opt/local/packages/samba but samba is installed under /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a. However, if I look in the /opt/local/samba/packages/samba_2.2.8a directory for the above files, they are not present there either. Can anyone advise me on a fix for this? Thanks, Linda
