Re problem with libldap.a running Samba 3.x.x.x under AIX 5.1: I have found that Samba 3.0.0 & 3.0.4 & 3.0.10 all fail; with the same error on a p-series 615. I did get 3.0.0 running on a 7025-F40 using : LIBPATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf to force aix 5.1 to use the Samba /usr/local/lib/libiconv.a. I had to go back to Samba 2.2.8a (binary downloaded from http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/samba.html ) to get Samba working on a p-series 615. There were a few minor problems getting 2.2.8a to run: 1) had to create directory /usr/local/private so smbd could create /usr/local/private/secrets.tdb 2) had to touch /usr/local/private/smbpasswd 3) had to copy the files brlock.tdb & locking.tdb from another system to /usr/local/var/locks Regards, ________________________________________________ Chris Good
