4.11.2 and was successfully compiled. I believe the two issues are related but
I'm unable to find anything on google that indicates what could be the

The post subject could point to your error, it happens when you try to
do something on Samba as a normal user when it it should be done as root
or by using sudo.

Try running the command with 'sudo' at the beginning and '-d3'
at the end.

As you have compiled Samba yourself, what was your configure line ?
