Hi Can anyone tell me why ? I modify the Makefile and make install samb: =======================================================Fnatte% make installbin Using CFLAGS = -O -DSYSLOG -DSMBLOGFILE="/mnt/work/home/samba/var/log.smb" -DNMBLOGFILE="/mnt/work/home/samba/var/log.nmb" -DCONFIGFILE="/mnt/work/home/samba/lib/smb.conf" <<<------------------------- -DLMHOSTSFILE="/mnt/work/home/samba/lib/lmhosts" -DLOCKDIR="/mnt/work/home/samba/var/locks" -DSMBRUN="/mnt/work/home/samba/bin/smbrun" -DWORKGROUP="IMPKTH" -DGUEST_ACCOUNT="guest" -DSUNOS5 -DSHADOW_PWD -DNETGROUP -DFAST_SHARE_MODES Using LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl Installing smbd as /mnt/work/home/samba/bin/smbd Installing nmbd as /mnt/work/home/samba/bin/nmbd =====================================================================and put smb.conf in /mnt/work/home/samba/lib/ then run testparm and get the message: Fnatte% testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf Unable to open configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf"! pm_process retuned false Error loading services. The config file path is not on -DCONFIGFILE which I set in Makefile What is the problem ? I use SUN Soliaris 2.5 Thanks a lot. Sincerely; Dong Weihua weihuad@matpr.kth.se
