Hello,
I'm trying to set up samba on a virtual server - here's the problem, I
don't have true root access and can't write to the base /usr
directory.
I can only write past /usr/home/andrew/usr
I modified my configure file to point to:
ac_default_prefix=/usr/home/andrew/usr/local
# Any additions from configure.in:
ac_default_prefix=/usr/home/andrew/usr/local/samba
the install seemed to go fine but when I run testparm, I get the
following error:
Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file
"/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf":
Permission denied
Error loading services.
theheadwaters% ./testparm --help
Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file
"/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf":
Permission denied
Error loading services
so, I'm guessing that I have to tell the correct path somewhere
else, but I can't find it.
help would be appreciated.
thanks,

Samba can use prots > 1024 (see man pages) but can yur clients do the same?> > I can only write past /usr/home/andrew/usr > > I modified my configure file to point to: > ac_default_prefix=/usr/home/andrew/usr/local > # Any additions from configure.in: > ac_default_prefix=/usr/home/andrew/usr/local/sambawhy not just use ./configure --prefix=/usr/home/andrew/.... ?
