[Samba] samba2.2.1a nmbd couldn't be started at suse(7.0) linux (2.2.16) running on s390 platform
Hello all,
I'm trying to install samba on suse linux at s390 platform, I tried three
options, none of them works
1) Option1, install samba2.2.1a general release
I encountered a problem while running /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D, here is
the log file for you
/usr/local/samba/var/log.nmbd
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
[2002/04/26 09:04:17, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(242)
create_subnets: No local interfaces !
[2002/04/26 09:04:17, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(835)
ERROR: Failed when creating subnet lists. Exiting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
The system is suse 7.0 linux 2.2.16 on IBM s390 platform, the samba i am
using is 2.2.1a general release, there is network interface named iucv0, the
output of ifconfig -a is the follwing
-------------------------------------------
iucv0 Link encap:Serial Line IP
inet addr:10.4.30.204 P-t-P:10.0.30.254 Mask:255.0.0.0

-----------------------------------
2) I tried also samba1.9.18p1 for mvs, but get an error at make stage
"collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
3) Use the build-in smb, which is old 2.0.7 version, the smb.conf is
different from 2.2.1, I could start smbd, nmbd, but couldn't see it from my
desktop network place. my desktop ip is 10.0.20.201, netmask 255.0.0.0, the
linux host ip is 10.4.30.204, netmask is 255.0.0.0, linux is ping'able from
desktop.
Please help
Tx!

I'm also using SuSE Linux 7.0 on a Linux/390 system. Only my link to the rest of the network was thru escon channels. The problem with me was the configuration of the escon link ip parameters. Because it is a point-to-point link the netmask defaulted to 255.255.255.255, which is a broadcast address. Once I changed that it worked. But since your ifconfig seems to contains a correct netmaks I'm a bit stomped. Try asking on the linux-390 maillinglist. You will find more info about this mialinglist here : http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?linux-390 There is also another problem with point-to-point links and Samba. The smb protocols use network broadcasts a lot. And as you will see as you compare the ifconfig of a normal ethernet link and a point-to-point link, you will see that the p-t-p links don't support broadcasts. So if you intend to run Samba on a mainframe and have a network that doesn't contains other SMB services like a WINS and PDC, you will need to run Samba of a image/LPAR that has direct access to a broadcast capable device (ethernet, tokenring).
