any body had any issues with samba on solaris8 ( sparc ) which version is advisable thanks
Hello I am new to Samba. I used it and installed it on Solaris 2.6 and it was samba 2.0.7 version which was in pkgadd format and was installed under /opt directory i.e. /opt/samba. Now I need to install samba on solaris 8 and problem I am having a problem that I I don't have write permission on /usr/local directory. (it is some NFS mount). Now I am looking for Samba in pkgadd format which gets installed under /opt directory. I tried installing samba-2.2.1a-sparc-solaris-2.8.pkg in /opt (with -R option) directory but I got so many error messages and SWAT and other daemons never started. Any idea where can I find this samba package for Solaris 8 or can anyone tell me if I go for compiling samba what parameter and file should I modify to install and compile into .opt directory. Samba version doesn't matter for us. Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated. Thanks -Atul
Hi I think you have to compile samba... Download the source and run ./configure --help from the source directory. Look for --prefix. // Jesper -----Original Message----- From: Atul Gupta [mailto:atgupta@adobe.com] Sent: den 4 oktober 2001 07:59 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Samba on Solaris 8 Hello I am new to Samba.

If you are still having the problem... When I created my package, I had to remove the line "i checkinstall" on line 11 from the "prototype.master" file in the ".../packaging/Solaris" directory. After that, the makepkg.sh script worked fine. Hope that helps, Arnold Andrews MCAD/Unix Systems Administrator Seagate Technology
