Hello, I have the v2.0.5a that comes with Slackware 7.0 working, but as soon as I uninstall that, and compile v2.0.6 from scratch, it does not work...I just get loads of wierd errors in the log.smb file... All I can think, is I need to use some special compile options for Slackware Linux. I just unpacked the tgz and did: ./configure make make install then.. cd /usr/local/samba/bin testparm <-- this worked fine! smbd -D nmbd -D I can see the machine on the network but can not connect to it.....then after that, there are loads of error messages int he config file (see earlier post..) Does anyone have any ideas of what compile options I need to do???? Thanks in Advance!!
