Hi i have compiled samba 3.0.8 on redhat 7.3 with the folowing configuration: ------------------------------- ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --libdir=/usr/lib/samba \ --with-libdir=/usr/lib/samba \ --with-swatdir=/usr/share/doc/swat \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \ --with-lockdir=/var/cache/samba \ --with-logfilebase=/var/log/samba \ --sysconfdir=/etc/samba \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private \ --enable-static \ --enable-shared \ --with-manpages-langs=en \ --without-spinlocks \ --with-libsmbclient \ --with-automount \ --with-smbmount \ --with-winbind \ --with-quotas \ --with-syslog \ --with-idmap \ --with-acl-support \ --with-ldap \ --with-ads ------------------------------- The compilation works ok and I can join a domain using rpc, but if I use ads then I get ------------------------------- [root@x2scan root]# net ads join Computers -W SOFTCOM -U addtodomain addtodomain's password: [2004/11/19 14:38:07, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(186) ads_connect: No such file or directory [root@x2scan root]# ------------------------------- Why do this error ocure ?, I have used the same options before so I am sure that it must work (that is, smb.conf is configured 100% correct so the problem does not lie there, also I have a debian sarge installation that can join the same domain with the same command using ads). My gues is that the "net" command uses a libary, that I have not placed in the right directory, can I check this somehow ?. Another solution would be to install a precompiled rpm of samba 3.0.8 on redhat 7.3, but I have not been able to find one that is configuret with ads and ldap support, does anyone know if such an rpm exists somewhere on the web ?.
