After discovering a bug in the SuSE Samba binary (2.2.7a and 2.2.8a) which prevents some older DOS programs from creating files on a Samba share, I downloaded and built Samba 2.2.8a from the sources. Everything seems to work now (the old DOS programs are able to write to Samba shares) with the exception of smbwrapper which causes the following errors when Samba is built:

Hi I can't get 2.0.7 to compile under linux 6.4. My configure looks like: ./configure --with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount but when I make, all goes well until: Compiling smbwrapper/shared.c Linking bin/smbsh Compiling smbwrapper/smbw.c with -fpic smbwrapper/smbw.c:1429: warning: `struct stat64' declared inside parameter list smbwrapper/smbw.c:1429: warning: its scope

Hello all. I use: # ./configure --prefix=/some/dir --enable-cups --with-smbwrapper ... # make ... ... Compiling smbwrapper/wrapped.c with -fPIC Using LIBS = -lcups -lssl -lcrypto -lcrypt -lpam -lpopt Linking shared library bin/smbwrapper.so /usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lcups *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/work/src/other/samba-2.2.5/source. My system is FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE Please help.

Because of the original issue below, it dawned on me to re-compile Samba after the RH9 upgrade from RH7.1. The make fails, and I was hoping someone could shed some light on either/both issues. I'm compiling Samba 2.2.8a with: ./configure --with-smbwrapper --with-pam --with-syslog --with-netatalk --prefix=/var/samba --with-quotas --with-smbmount --with-shadow No errors there, but make fails

Hi ! The O'Reilly "Using Samba" book, recommend not to include smbmount support as it is for Linux only: "This feature wasn't being maintained at the time the book was written, so the Samba team made it an optional feature and provided smbwrapper instead. The smbwrapper feature works on more Unix platforms than smbmount, so you'll usually want to use --with-smbwrapper

Someone asked today about smbfs on HPUX. The basic answer to that is that smbfs is _very_ operating system specific so it would take quite a lot of work to get it to run on another OS. There is hope though. Over the past few days I have been developing something called smbwrapper (and smbsh). This offers most of the capabilities of smbfs in a way that makes it somewhat portable. It also provides

What's smbwrapper for? It's a --with- option given by ./configure --help, but none of my docs mention it.

I guess the uSSubject line says it all. Does smbwrapper/smbsh actually work? It took some editing to get smbwrapper to actually compile, but the changes seemed obvious (different versions of gcc?). However when I try to execute smbsh (RH7.0), I get to the message ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock which looks like it could be a difference between the way different OS handle things. So,

Hi, I am attempting to compile samba version 2.2.2 on my solaris 8 server and I get the following error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Linking shared library bin/smbwrapper.so ld: fatal: option -h and building a dynamic executable are incompatible ld: fatal: Flags processing errors make: *** [bin/smbwrapper.so] Error 1 **********************************************

...maximum 2048 -- recompile some modules -K PIC. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `bin/smbwrapper.so' If I remove --with-smbwrapper on the configure then everything works fine, I can make and make install. We really need to use smbwrappers to make our server more secure. I tried to change the option from -fPIC to -KPIC on the configure.in file but the result was that things would not compile. Thanks for any help or clues you may give me as to how to fix this problem. Diego Remolina System Administrator School of Mathematics Georgi...

Hi, I am trying to build samba on a sun 420r running Solaris 8 with a SunWorkShop 6.1 compiler. configure worked well. I selected smbwrapper to be included in the build. However I get this when it gets to the link: Using LIBS = -lsec -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -ldl Linking shared library bin/smbwrapper.so ld: fatal: option -h and building a dynamic executable are incompatible ld: fatal: Flags

Has anyone seen the following problems with smbsh under Solaris 8: 1. smbsh with no options does not prompt correctly for the Username: and Password:. You can enter them if you know that is what you need and it will continue on. If you use -U username it works. 2. Once smbsh is running, any command results in a "[1]+ Stopped" with bash. If you

Hi ! I'm runing a linux redhat 7.2 box with samba 2.2.4. I've downloaded the samba source in order to install it with the needed compilation options (--with-smbwrapper --with-automount --with-smbmount --with-pam ...). Samba is now up and running but I would like to build an rpm with this compiled version. Any idea of how to transform this samba compiled version to a rpm package ?

I am getting the following errors when compiling SAMBA 2.2.4 on HP-UX 11.00. Anyone have any ideas on what's causing the problem?

I tried linking smbwrapper.so directly into bash, but that only works for bash and not any of the subprocesses it runs. That is bash can cd into the /smb directory and I can do an echo * to list files. But if I run a system command (ls, emacs) they can't see the /smb directory because they aren't linked with smbwrapper.so. -----Original Message----- From: Dirk De Wachter

Where can I go for some good examples on how to use smbsh? The documentation I have read refers to a mount point (?) of /smb. How is this created. Where is documentation on that? I tried to compile 2.0.6 under Linux with smbwrapper enabled and got quite a few errors. Are there any known problems in this release? If you have been successful, did you have to change anything? If requested, I
