similar to: 2.2.7 to 3.3.12 upgrade issue

Thanks again for the continued help... Current thinking is using rid for the backend does not place any new administrative functions on the staff - agree? Begs questions of what is being written in smbpasswd, and do we have administrative work on AIX? Such as adding users and a group or two in the range specified for idmap? A mapping "table"? If rid is hands-off administration,

I would be "pleased" if you would try packages - i.e., none of "Toolbox" or Perzl rpm's. The iconv I supply might not be working as is (I will need to install a new system to check). However, this is why I have been testing with R-3.2.3 - to side-step the system library dependencies. re: xz - I have "installp" version - and any of my packages should work

Rowland, If you were up for another hint at rid versus ad... I'd like to understand a bit more. With rid, I map the administrator to root only... no mapping of users in AIX. How does Samba figure out that bobw at mydomain.com should use the samba user ID bobwsmb? If I use ad, I would use rfc2307 attributes to address that (I think). It seems more "specific" to use ad, but

Simon - which compiler)s) did you use: xlc and xlfortran, or gcc/gfortran? I have made some changes to configure(.ac) so maybe my problems are self-inflicted. But would be good to know what environment you are using. Thanks for looking - and

Hello! I need to install Samba on AIX and the AIX folder in https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/ has only a readme that points to the following address: http://pware.hvcc.edu/ However that host is down, what is the best way to get Samba binaries for AIX? Thanks!

This seems to be a problem that goes back a long time - and I hope someone who understands what tre is suppossed to be doing will look at this. A short history of other people who have reported on this on different versions of AIX. I shall only add that I get the same results on AIX 5.3 TL7, AIX 6.1 TL9 and AIX 7.1 TL3. Basically, with settings that work for AIX and 32-bit - the only changes

Hi there! We're trying to compile Samba 4.0.0 on a fresh install of AIX 6.1 (6100-02-01-0847), with Python RPM's from perzl.org installed into /opt/freeware. We're also using XLC 12.1. Unfortunately, we can't even run ./configure, as we're getting errors from the waf system. Here's what we get: bash-4.2# pwd /admin/tst/build/samba-4.0.0 bash-4.2# ./configure --help

In some spare time, been trying to get Samba 4.10.6-1 working on AIX. Several earlier posts handled by Louis and Rowland. Which were much appreciated and beneficial. Using this stripped (leaving comments out of it) GLOBALS section of smb.conf: [global] workgroup = boost realm = BOOST.COM server string = Samba Server Version %v interfaces = lo eth0

Thanks to you and Louis for your guidance. I really apologize for my lack of knowledge of AD and Samba; and I appreciate your patience and willingness to help. And I apologize for not trimming the reply - don't know how much to retain... The referenced document seems to be leveraging domain services that we're not using. We are only using AD user authentication to access shares on AIX. No

My apologies (again!) for asking about this old, venerable release. The client is upgrading to 4.10 or 4.11 in early December. The AIX server was joined to a functional Windows 2000 domain in 2015. The AD server has since been upgraded to functional Windows Server 2003 sometime since. They have 2 AD servers - primary is Joe, secondary is Jane. Joe has encountered severe Registry issues

Hi !!! I've Samba 3.3.12 running on AIX, I have a few windows 7 using a shared resource on that server. This is the shared resource definition: [shared_disk] comment = shared_disk path = /home2/nfs-chiappe/shared_disk valid users = user1,user2 write list = @staff read only = No create mask = 0764 This particular Windows 7 Computer is driving

In perusing Red Hat manuals for a different issue with Red Hat, this was in their RHEL 7 documentation: You can run Samba as: * An Active Directory (AD) or NT4 domain member * A standalone server * An NT4 Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC) NOTE Red Hat supports these modes only in existing installations with Windows versions which support NT4 domains.

I know it's an old release, and my apologies for wasting anyone's time. I've been asked about an older version of AIX 7.1 with Samba 3.6.23 installed. The requestor is moving to a Windows Server 2012 R2 domain. They want AIX/Samba 3.6.23 to be a domain member, using the 2012 R2 AD to authenticate users to access Samba shares on the AIX server. This is the way it's working

The below Globals section is reporting some testparm failures that don't make sense to me. Perhaps someone could shine a light for me? This is a new installation - from 3.6.23 to 4.10.6-1. Necessitated by a Windows Server 2016 DC being installed. The testparm command, when run, reports the following error(s): # testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Loaded

Ok, found the problem - on platforms that support it TRE uses wint_t (from wchar.h) as its type for characters (tre_cint_t) which on AIX is *signed* int. TRE uses liberally conversions between int and tre_cint_t apparently assuming that the latter is unsigned so conversions back to int are suitable for comparisons etc. On other platforms wint_t is unsigned so it works. Manually defining tre_cint_t

Sorry... A couple more questions... I've installed krb5-libs and krb-workstation... this is all I need? I ask because the krb5 config file was not created on the system... One was "installed" to /opt/freeware/etc/krb5.conf, which could be copied over... Do I need to install samba-winbind-krb5-locator? Thank you for everything!

Dear all, I have samba 3.2.15 PDC running with an openldap backend and smbd4wins on the same host. There is also a BDC the same as my PDC. After I did an update to 3.3.12 on my BDC this worked on the fly without problems. Then I went on doing the same update on my PDC with the result of chaos. No user was able to logon anymore , when I did a smbclient -L mypdc -N it was extremely slow, and my

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade samba (TPTB are going to introduce win7 workstations) on my old server (mandrake 10.0) currently running 3.0.11. I setup a virtual machine to do some testing and I built rpms for 3.5.2 (apart from the other problems it has this one https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7263) then for 3.4.7 and finally for 3.3.12. Each one of them has problems, the most

I'm installing Samba 4.10.6.1 on an AIX 7.1 system. I have to use the IBM variant because of their SSL package, or so I think. I'm down to one requisite needed for samba-common-4.10.6-1. Which is libldb-key-value-samba4.so. If it is available on their Toolbox site, I can't find which library package I need to get it. I tried yum on CentOS 6 to get a clue, no such luck. I
