samba - Sep 2012 - Why smbd (version 4.1.0) uses source3/smbd/server.c not source4/smbd/server.c

Hello!

Would it be possible that you give us a broader picture of
what you want to achieve? You seem to be running latest code
in configurations that are vastly different from what the
Samba Team supports. If you could tell us more about your
goals, we might be able to help you and recommend a
configuration that does what you need.

With best regards,

Volker

Dear everybody,

Could anybody told me the reason? Does the code of samba 3 and samba 4 mix
together in the master branch.
How can I let smbd be compiled from source4/smbd/server.c?

Thanks and Have a good weekend

Jun

The following is what I got from the command line:

junyij-2.desktop$ ./smbd -V
Version 4.1.0pre1-DEVELOPERBUILD

At first glance, and it doesn't look like you are firing up the smbd daemon
as root. It has to be started as root, or else you definitely will see lots
of access denied errors against log files.

source4/smbd/server.c is compiled as 'samba'. 

the source3/smbd/server.c is compiled as 'smbd'.  Both form part of the
Samba 4.0 release, and Samba 4.0 as an AD DC will use both components
(and many other shared parts). 

We hope to reduce the confusion from our historical development
practices as we further integrate our unified Samba release.  What we
will release with Samba 4.0 is just the first step, we hope to continue
the process as time and resources allow.

Hi
Try running it as root instead.
