samba - Mar 2013 - no network interfaces found on OpenIndiana (Illumos)

Hi,

I've downloaded the samba 3.6.12 OpenCSW package.
I joined openindiana to the the active directory, winbind seems to
work fine, I see all the users with "wbinfo -u".
However, my samba server is not starting. It seems that there is no
network card found.

  WARNING: no network interfaces found

Is there some problem that the get_interfaces(talloc_tos(), &ifaces);
call returns  no interfaces on solaris/openindiana ?
Any idea?

I sure have interfaces:

Use gdb to step through the code and see why it's failing
to find interfaces, or add debug statements to the places
we return from querying an interface. Sorry, no other easy
answer.

Hiya Joeri,

I had exactly the same problem with OpenSolaris - would not find the
interfaces.

However I found that if I explicitly defined the interfaces in the smb.conf
file:

	interfaces = if.ip.add.ress/netmask_bits
if.ip.other.address/netmask_bits

Samba was quite happy to pick that up.

I had the same problem with the ISC DHCP server, but there I had actually to
modify code to get it to work.  It does seem that there's something
"odd" in
the way some Solaris versions provide access to the interface lists, but
I've never had time to get fully to the bottom of it (and I'm afraid I
can't
remember exactly what I had to change in the ISC DHCP server to get it to
work).
Something perhaps to be picked up at some point for investigation by the
developers, but it's probably much easier for you right now just to try
adding an "interfaces" line to your "smb.conf" and see
whether that fixes it
for you - hopefully it will.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Tris.

Ps.  So the "interfaces" line you'd want (IPv4) would be something
like
"interfaces 192.168.250.8/24 127.0.0.1/8" or "interfaces
192.168.250.8/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0".
