[Samba] Samba solaris 8 package with Windows 2008 support?
Hi- I am running Samba 2.2.8 on Solaris 8. Our Windows team has upgraded Windows 2003 servers Active Directory to Windows 2008. Samba is not working now. Can someone suggest the best Samba version for Solaris 8 that I can upgrade to that will support the new Windows 2008 authentication mechanism. Thanks -Steve Stephen P.

You can check for a precompiled version on blastwave.org. It looks like sunfreeware.com doesn't have the Solaris 8 binaries online anymore. I suspect you will have to compile from source which can be a major PITA on solaris. (if you look for other posts from me on this list you will see this.) You may be better off moving to Solaris 10, which includes Samba 3.5.x - depending on how old your hardware is. I have a 5 year old Sun V210 ( 1 GB RAM?) running Solaris 10 comfortably On 08/02/12 08:00, Michaels, Stephen P. wrote:> Hi- > I am running Samba 2.2.8 on Solaris 8.
