I believe I have the same problem, moreover from looking at this newsgroup for the first time it seems to be a bit of a FAQ. I wouldn't bother the group before trying to apply the proposed solution, but ... my server is not Linux but Solaris 2.5, and I can't see libdes.a anywhere. There's libcrypt.a, can it be used instead? If yes, why isn't it enabled in the Makefile by default for this platform? Finally a meta question: what is the relationship between the newsgroup and the mailing list, samba@samba.org? Is there an automatic forward in either way? Which is the better place to post Samba specific questions (I'd expect the newsgroup to be more general in scope, covering eg. the Windows implementations of SMB). I hope I can be forgiven for posting in both places this one time. Best, -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324, San Francisco, California 94107
