I am first time SAMBA user. System information: Unix = HP-UX 11.0 Network = Windows 2000 Things that I did: 1) Logged into our test unix box as “root”. Created a directory “samba” underneath “/home/root”. 2) Went to samba website and downloaded “samba-2.2.7a.tar.gz” onto my “C:\” (my desktop). I am aware that the latest “How to” book in its “Installation section asks me to use command “wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-2.2.7a.tar.gz” from my unix prompt, but unfortunately “wget” does not work on my unix box. 3) FTP the “samba-2.2.7a.tar.gz” to test unix box in binary mode. 4) Used “gunzip samba-2.2.7a.tar.gz” 5) Next step would be to verify Samba’s PGP signature. But again, unfortunately, “gpg” command does not work on my machine, so had to proceed further without verification. Should I have used a different approach for this verification? 6) Used “cd /tmp”. Then did “tar xf /home/root/samba/samba-2.2.7a.tar”. This did create the directory “samba-2.2.7a” underneath “/tmp” and with all the other folders and files underneath “samba-2.2.7a” 7) Then went back to “/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/samba-2.2.7a” website and downloaded the HP-UX depot “samba_2.2.7a_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz” onto my “C:\” and then FTP’ed that over to test unix box in underneath “/tmp” directory in binary mode. 8) Then used “swinstall –s /tmp/samba_2.2.7a_HPUX_withwinbind.depot.gz Samba”. 9) Then used “/sbin/init.d/samba start” to start smbd and nmbd. 10) Then edited my “/etc/nsswitch.conf” to add “passwd: files winbind grouyp: files winbind” 11) I think I am also supposed to do some setup in “/etc/pam.d”, but this file never got created. It does not exist. 12) Used “/usr/local/samba/bin/smpasswd –j mydomain –r mypdc –U administrator”. This joined the unix server to “mydomain”. But also gave the error message about “Unicode_map.850” and “Unicode_map.ISO8559” didn’t exist underneath “codepages” directory. I know that I do have “CP850.txt” and “CPIS8559.txt” files, but I was not able to create those binary Unicode files because I do not have the right “make_unicodemap” excecutable. Can someone help me with this? I have “make_unicodemap.c” executable but that seems be taking input file in format “unicode_def.850”, which I do not have. But note that I was able to Join to mydomain. 13) When I looked at “/usr/local/samba/log.smbd” and “log.nmbd” files they had the same error message of above two Unicode files not existing. But those two processes “smbd and nmbd” start properly and I can see them running on the box. 14) Then copied libnss_winbind.so to “/lib” and pam_winbind.so to /lib/security. 15) I copied “/tmp/samba-2.2.7a/examples/simple/smb.conf” to /usr/local/samba/lib. I edited this file to add following into [global]: Winbind separator = + Winbind cache time = 10 Template shell = /bin/bash Template homedir = /home/%D/%U Winbind uid = 10000-20000 Winbind gid = 10000-20000 Workgroup = mydomain Security = domain Password server = * Encrypt passwords = yes 16) Then I start “winbind daemon” by using “/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd –s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf”. 17) And bingo, I was able to achieve my objective of able to access Unix files from my “windows explorer” underneath “Network neighbourhood”. 18) Now my problem begins. I tried to get fancy and wanted to add some more directories that users can access from Windows explorer. So I went ahead and edited “/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf” for those directories. Now I needed “winbindd” to see these changes. But I did not how/from where to use “SIGHUP” to reload my smb.conf. I did a “find / -name sighup –print” and I was unable to get any instances. I tried the same with SIGHUP (caps) and cannot find any instances. So I thought of just taking down this TEST unix box. I used “shutdown –ry now” [probably FIRST MISTAKE during this samba set-up]. 19) After the unix box was back up I tried to use start smbd and nmbd. “nmbd” was able to start up without any problems. But smbd didn’t start. When I looked at “log.smbd” I saw the error message of “Unable to start messages database”. And when used “/usr/local/samba/bin/smpasswd –j mydomain –r mypdc –U administrator”, system still joined to mydomain. When I start “winbindd”, it won’t start and gave me error messages in “log.winbindd” that “Unable to start idmap databases”. Also I noticed that my “/usr/local/samba/var/locks” directory was GONE. Because that was one of the error messages in “log.winbindd” that could not find “/usr/local/samba/var/locks”. That’s when I realized that I could have corrupted the database files like “/usr/local/samba/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb” and “messages.tdb”. 20) That’s when I proceed to my biggest screw up of reloading the entire software again. To do that, I deleted following directories: /tmp/samba-2.2.7a /var/usr/local/samba /home/root/samba I was not able to delete a file “/usr/local/samba/lib/winbind/libnss_winbind.so”. If I try to use “rm –f /usr/local/samba/lib/winbind/libnss_winbind.so”. I get the message “rm: libnss_winbind.so not removed. Text file busy”. I was logged in as “root”. So I was unable to delete “/usr/local/samba” directory. Also, I deleted the file “/etc/rc.config.d/samba”. Then I started to load things back by using above steps 1 through 8. After this when I looked at “/usr/local/samba/” there was nothing created underneath there by this new load. No other directories created, only thing in there was “lib/winbind” with the file “libnss_winbind.so” which I was not able to delete. Also, file “/etc/rc.config.d/samba” did not get created either. Probably this file is used for running smbd and nmbd. Many of you are probably saying “I screwed up big time”, I know. So what can I do at this point? Any chances of me to get back to where I was (working condition)? This is all on my test unix box. Appreciate all your sympathy. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I like this, I'm going to keep it as an example of what not to send to a mailing list :-) -----Original Message----- From: issue qad [mailto:issueqad@yahoo.com] Sent: Mon 20/01/2003 16:52 To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: Subject: [Samba] Second Posting!
