I'm scratching my head, and thinking that I overlooked something: how do I tell my Sun compiler (on Solaris 8 2/02) to look for files in /usr/include, etc.? For some reason -- a steam-rollered environment variable, I guess -- the compiler won't look there. I get lots and lots of "cannot find include file" messages whether ot not I try ot use --with-pam or --with-winbind. I

I have a very simple setup on a Solaris 8 server, running Samba 3.0.1 (see smb.conf below). A desktop PC running Windows 98 (SE?) happily connects to and prints to my one shared printer, but an XP Pro laptop takes a loooong time to install the local driver and then just says "Access denied, unable to connect". I already told it to use a client driver and disabled spoolss. Here's

When a new version of Samba is posted, is the HOWTO COllection updated, or does the Samba Team rely on the community to spot anachronisms and report them as bugs? I'm struggling with a new install of Samba that's more complex than I've tried before, and I keep the two Samba dead-tree books open on my desk -- but if the online docs in the tarball are more current than the books,

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

I am getting errors when I try to start smbd which say that port 445 is already in use, but nothing else is using it. In the log, the full error is: -----start log.smbd---- [2004/02/02 11:03:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(662) bind failed on port 445 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.

On page 206 of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection PDF, in the seventh paragraph, the word "use" appears to be missing from the sentence, "When Samba is being used as the PDC and BDC the of an LDAP..." -- but that could just be me. -wde -- Will Enestvedt UNIX System Administrator Johnson & Wales University -- Providence, RI

I'm going to download Samba 3.0.2 and compile it, and I'm curious what, if any, recommendations you have for a compiler. I initially tried to use Sun's Forte compiler when I cewt up 3.0.1, but that was a dead end. I can download GCC from all over the web -- so which version is best? Thanks for any suggestions. -wde -- Will Enestvedt UNIX System Administrator Johnson & Wales

Hello, all; I need help with getting lpstat _not_ to run. I'm running Samba 3.0.1 on a Sun Solaris 8 server to share out a few print queues, and it works a treat. I also run a print spooler & job management product called Xi-Text, which displaces several of the stock lp* binaries; their implementation of lpstat (among other programs) doesn't completely replicate Sun's

I have Samba 3.0.1 running on Solaris 8 on a 4-CPU SunFire V480m and printing to a Printronix 5005B line printer is pretty slow -- as in five nmostly-empty 9"x5" pages per minute. (I only share out three local print queues and no filesystems on this Sun to Windows XP and some 98 clients.) I would like to speed up the throughput, but I'm seeing a couple of errors. First, I found

Hi, all; I compiled Samba 3.0.11 on Solaris 8 with MIT Kerberos 1.3.6 and OpenLDAP 2.2.23. I joined our Active Directory domain, but only the various `net ads` commands work, while any `wbinfo` commands fail. Where can I start searching for this? My log.winbindd says that the server failed to fetch the shared secret. Oddly, it also says that it's trying to contact a Domain named

Good afternoon; I need to set up a custom form (paper size) on a printer that I share out with anonymous access from v. 3.0.1 on Solaris 8 to Windows 98 & XP Pro clients. Should I change the server to require a password and then set this (according to pages 236 ff. of the new Samba book) and change it back, or is there another way? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -wde -- Will

I follow the procedure for the integration of Samba 3.0.13 in Ads environement, but when I enter the command "net ads join -U administrator" system return me this error: ------errrrrrror-------- morgoth:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./net ads join -U administrator administrateur's password: [2005/04/01 16:34:48, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(191) ads_connect: No such file or directory

Samba server: SUN/Solaris 8 Samba version 3.0.10 Domain: Active Directory with a W2K PDC My Samba server is a Domain Member Server, connected to the Active Directory Domain with the "net rpc join" unix command.

I asked this question a while ago, but never got any response. Since then, I've researched the problem some more, so I can give a much more concise description of what's happening. I'm mounting the home directories of the users upon login (using pam_mount) from the Windows server. However, none of the users can run X Windows. It says there's a problem with the .Xauthority file.

I would really appreciate help ! I did not have any reply to my two posts and I don't know what to do. I can't build 3.0.21a and I have to migrate 54 Solaris 2.5.1 servers from 2.2.8a to 3.0.x. I'm afraid we could not move to newer solaris versions before 12 or 18 months. Under is the problem description. Thank you for your help. Pierre --------- SOLARIS 7 --------- On Solaris 7
